Microsoft has begun testing the Edge Secure Network, a new VPN-like security feature for its Edge browser. This new feature promises to offer a secure web experience, especially when connecting to public networks in a coffee shop, restaurant, airport or other public places. In this article, we have detailed what Edge Secure Network is and how you can try this free VPN service in Microsoft Edge right away.
UPDATE Microsoft Edge's "Secure Network" free VPN has now been integrated into the Settings page
Microsoft's Edge Secure Network is a new security feature that lets you surf the web securely with the Edge browser. Built in partnership with Cloudflare, the feature masks your device's IP address, encrypts your data, and routes it through the nearest Cloudflare server in your location. Like other popular browsers like Opera and Firefox, Microsoft offers a free VPN service baked into the Edge browser.
Edge Secure Network is currently available on Edge Canary build 104 and later. As part of the early preview, Microsoft is offering free 1GB monthly quota for users to test the feature. We can expect more new plans with higher data caps, perhaps locked behind a subscription when the feature reaches Edge's stable version.
Additionally, the browser requires you to sign in to your Microsoft account to access the VPN feature. If you want to test the feature before it is released to the stable channel, you can follow the steps below.
