How to use duckduckgo vpn

Was editing my shortcuts when i saw a duckduckgo vpn feature yet it does not work. Ive tried and nothing has work. When i hold the icon, it just redirects me to the settings in the browser which doesnt have a option for vpn. Am using a xiaomi device running hyperos. Any help would be appreciated.

For the DuckDuckGo VPN, a subscription is needed.
