the toggle shows up by default, but without a paid subscription the vpn is unusable. even then you need to enable it. you can disable it completely in brave://flags and set "enable experimental brave VPN" to disabled. it's shitty that they include it by default, but it's disingenuous to say they're rerouting traffic of all brave users through their own vpn servers.
Alright, thanks for the correction.
