Microsoft Edge Secure Network is here to protect your browsing

Microsoft has introduced a VPN service for its Internet Explorer browser.

Microsoft Edge Secure Network

Wondering about the Microsoft Edge Secure Network features? Let’s take a look at the features.

The Microsoft Edge Secure Network encrypts internet access for users in order to secure their data from theft. Microsoft Edge Secure Network actually prevents ISPs from collecting browsing data by encrypting information that goes between a user’s computer and servers. Microsoft Edge Secure Network, like other virtual private networks, allows users to keep their location and IP address hidden. Those who login into Microsoft Edge with their Microsoft Account will receive 1GB of free bandwidth each month, which isn’t much but is enough to get them started.

Microsoft Edge Secure Network is also provided in partnership with Cloudflare, according to the business. The service is powered by Cloudflare, which will permanently destroy all troubleshooting and support data collected every 25 hours. Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 WARP appears to be lagging behind the anticipated Microsoft offering.

It will undoubtedly make securing surfing activity easier for people who are hesitant to meddle with VPNs, and it may even entice them to join up with Microsoft Edge.
