Yes, Microsoft offers a built-in VPN service within its Microsoft Edge browser. This feature, called Microsoft Edge Secure Network, provides users with a free VPN for enhanced privacy and security while browsing the internet.
Microsoft Edge Secure Network:
- Free and Built-in: Microsoft Edge Secure Network is a free VPN service directly integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Limited Data: The service offers a limited amount of free data each month.
- Basic Security: While it provides basic security features, it doesn't offer advanced features like dedicated servers or custom server selection.
- Not a System-Wide VPN: Microsoft Edge Secure Network is only available within the Edge browser and does not extend VPN protection to other applications or your entire system.
Windows Built-in VPN Capabilities:
- VPN Connection Setup: Windows operating systems offer the ability to set up and configure VPN connections. However, Windows itself doesn't provide a built-in VPN service like Microsoft Edge Secure Network.
- VPN Protocols: Windows supports various VPN protocols like PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, and IKEv2/IPSec, allowing users to connect to third-party VPN services.
Note:
While Windows offers the capability to establish VPN connections, it doesn't come with a built-in VPN service like the one offered by Microsoft Edge.
