US-based technology giant Microsoft has started testing the VPN feature that many users have been eagerly waiting for in the latest developer version of the Chromium-based internet browser Egde. Thus, there will be no need for third-party VPN software, at least when browsing Edge.
The feature, which is only available in Microsoft Edge Canary for now, is called “Secure Network”. This feature provides users with a traffic masking service that helps prevent data breach risks in public networks used in places such as airports or cafes, as an extension of the VPN service. The feature that Microsoft will integrate into Edge seems to increase the competition with the industry’s number one Chrome.
Will Microsoft Edge VPN be paid?
There is a point to be noted here. Almost all of the popular VPN services on the market charge a fee to continue the service after providing free service for a certain period of time. Microsoft, on the other hand, said nothing about this ‘fee’. In other words, it is not clear whether the Secure Network feature, which is expected to be offered to all Edge users in the near future, will be paid or free…
By the way, the Secure Network, which has started to be tested in Microsoft Edge Canary, is currently only 1 GB per month. allows data usage. This size is not enough to watch videos or play games for hours with Secure Network. However, it is sufficient for the system to be understood and for the tests to be carried out. It should be said that the phrase “monthly” here is critical. Microsoft may have imposed such a restriction because it only tests the Secure Network. Perhaps users will have to pay a fee to access more than 1GB of data via VPN. We will learn about this in the coming period…
