As of February 28, the Kobo Vox will no longer be supported by Rakuten Kobo*. This means it will no longer receive software updates, and will not be able to connect to the Kobo eBookstore.

I don't know if there's anyone here that still uses a Vox, but it was designed to require a connection to Kobo the first time it's powered up or after a factory reset. According to the email, that will no longer be possible after February 28.
If you are still a diehard Vox user and want to protect yourself against a failed setup in the future, the version check can be spoofed. I posted brief instructions a few years ago
here. I just checked and all the files mentioned are still on the server, so you've got a month to retrieve them before they're gone.
