Does Microsoft Edge have built in VPN?

It's not clear to me from reading the MSDN documentation (see link below) if there's a VPN or encryption layer provided by Edge as a built-in feature, or do you have to use a 3rd party program or plugin such as OpenVPN etc. I'm using Windows 10 Pro with Internet Explorer 11, and have no idea what Microsoft offers on top of IE. The answer is more than I bargained for. But hopefully this will be useful to someone else in a similar situation.

Thanks, Peter. Windows Hello VPN support for Windows 10 is still evolving. Windows Hello has its own built in VPN support for Windows 10 Home - see What does Windows Hello mean for VPN? - but support for Business, Enterprise and Pro is still being tested.

Does Windows 10 have built in VPN or similar that can be enabled within Edge without adding plugins etc. No, it's not supported within Edge yet and nor is it a planned item. At present you can only connect to enterprise networks and secure WiFi hotspots.

You can use third-party VPN applications such as OpenVPN to additional VPN functionality. References

For now you can use an online proxy to bypass any filtering issues. Not sure why anyone would want a VPN when their entire device is open to the internet. But if you do it's fairly easy to setup and has all the features you'd want.

Is Microsoft Edge VPN good?

Yes, it is.

In fact, the main thing to be honest is that Microsoft Edge VPN works well for web-browsing, but it also has some drawbacks.

However, you can still find a lot of good things about it, and all of them can be summarised into a few points. Firstly, the connection is very simple: just press the connect button and there's no need to do any extra things. You can connect it to both public Wi-Fi or local network via Ethernet or Bluetooth, if you wish to. You can choose your desired option from four options. One is a free option, another is a pay option, another is a premium option, and the last is a trial option. The reason why this VPN is said to be the best is because of the speed. In fact, the connection is really fast with a speed around 20Mbps.

However, this speed is limited to 3G or 4G networks, and in case of using Wi-Fi, it's not as fast. So, if you're on 3G or 4G, it will be faster than other alternatives. Moreover, the price is always great because it's free. Lastly, you can try the free version of this VPN for 30 days. What are the pros of using Microsoft Edge VPN?
