Can't connect to server error message shown when switched regions in the VPN panel when connected via Already purchased VPN link in desktop 2

[MadhaviSeelam]

Description

This issue specifically relates to clicking the link Already purchased VPN in onboarding/Buy modal after logging into desktop 2 with existing prod VPN credentials. In this case, after successfully logging, I didn't click Refresh Brave VPN button, instead clicked VPN button =>Already purchased VPN link in the Buy modal. When I toggle On from Disconnected to Connected, it was successfully connected. However, it failed with Can't connect to server error message error when switched from default locale US ( West) to Canada.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install 1.49.118
2. launch Brave
3. enable brave://flags/#brave-vpn
4. login to desktop 2 with already purchased Brave prod VPN credentials
5. click on VPN button next to hamburger menu
6. click Already purchased VPN link
7. successfully connected when toggled On from Disconnected to Connected in the VPN panel
8. select another region Canada

Actual result:

Can't connect to server error message shown
