Microsoft is testing a new built-in VPN supported by Cloudflare on the Edge.
Ο Microsoft Edge σύντομα να λάβει μια ενσωματωμένη υπηρεσία VPN που θα ονομάζεται "Ασφαλές δίκτυο" (στα English Edge Secure Network). Although it doesn't say it outright, the new service will work similarly to commercial VPN services, and will be something like Opera's VPN but without logging you.
This means that Edge will not record your activities in any form and will also prevent your ISP from knowing the sites you are visiting. The company assures that permanently deletes the diagnostic and support data collected, every 25 hours.
Η υπηρεσία VPN θα τροφοδοτείται από την Cloudflare. Μερικά από τα κύρια χαρακτηριστικά της υπηρεσίας "ασφαλές δίκτυο" είναι:
- Encrypts the connection: It encrypts the Internet connection to help protect user data from cyber threats.
When you use Microsoft Edge Secure Network, your data is routed by Edge through encryption to create a secure connection, even when you use an insecure URL that starts with HTTP. This makes it difficult for attackers to access your browsing data on a shared public Wi-Fi network. - Helps prevent Internet monitoring: By encrypting web traffic directly from Microsoft Edge, it helps prevent the service supply Internet from collecting your browsing data, such as details about the websites you visit.
- Keeps your location private: Internet entities can use your location and IP address to create profiles and send targeted ads to you. Microsoft Edge Secure Network lets you browse through a virtual IP address that covers your real IP and replaces your geographic location with a similar local address to make it harder for Internet browsers to track you as you browse.
- Use is free: You will get 1 gigabyte of free data each month when you sign in to Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account.
Edge's secure network service is not yet available to all users. At least it's not in ours or in the normal one version not even in the canary version. But once Microsoft releases it, a new menu entry will be available in the hamburger menu at the top right corner of the browser.
It is important to note that users will need to sign in to their Microsoft account to use the VPN service. Enabling this feature will automatically turn it off every time you close the Edge window.
Users will need to re-enable Microsoft Edge Secure Network for their next browsing session if they wish to use it. A shield icon will indicate if the service is active.
Η company it didn't mention any subscription model if you go over 1GB to allow users to extend the service beyond the free data limit.
