Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a VPN proxy extension for Microsoft Edge?

A VPN proxy provides a level of privacy and security online while you’re browsing the web on Microsoft Edge. It encrypts your browser’s traffic and prevents third parties from tracking your activity online. A VPN proxy extension can also help you access your home content abroad by changing your virtual location. In the case of NordVPN’s Threat Protection feature, it can even prevent malicious links and block ads.

Does Microsoft Edge have a built-in VPN?

Microsoft Edge is testing out a built-in VPN for the browser, but you should be careful when using it. Edge users need to be signed in to their Microsoft account to use the VPN, so Microsoft can potentially track their usage. It also has a data use limit of 1GB per month.

To access websites safely and privately, we recommend getting a trusted VPN with strong encryption and advanced security features. NordVPN offers unlimited bandwidth for your VPN connection, strong encryption, and 10 device slots for your account.

How do I add a VPN proxy extension to Microsoft Edge?

To protect your online activity and shield your traffic on Microsoft Edge, simply add the NordVPN extension to your Edge browser. NordVPN extension for Microsoft Edge page and click “Get.” Once it’s installed, press “Launch” and sign in.

You can also add NordVPN’s extension to your Edge browser using the Chrome Web Store. On your Edge browser, open the NordVPN extension on the Chrome Web Store and click “Allow extensions” from other stores. When prompted, press “Allow” and then “Add to Edge.” We’ve covered the whole process in greater detail in a tutorial on how to connect to NordVPN with Edge extension.

How do I force Edge to use a VPN?

If you’ve set up the built-in VPN on Edge, but it regularly fails to connect, the browser itself could be the issue. To ensure Edge uses a VPN to connect to the internet, use a trusted VPN provider such as NordVPN. You can get a desktop app for your operating system or simply install the NordVPN extension for Edge.

Is there a free VPN for Microsoft Edge?

Yes, you can choose from many free proxy add-ons on your Edge browser. However, you shouldn’t use them if you care about our data security, privacy, speed, and stable connection. Free VPNs are not likely to offer any of those things — they often have overcrowded networks that crash frequently, and they possibly use users’ data to make money for themselves.

Instead, choose a reliable paid VPN provider like NordVPN! If you’re unhappy with it, you can cancel your subscription in the first 30 days and get all your money back.

How do I turn off the VPN on Microsoft Edge?

To turn the Edge VPN off, go to your browser settings, click on “Privacy, search, and services,” and toggle the “Microsoft Edge secure network” off.

Should I use the Edge VPN proxy extension or the VPN client app?

NordVPN’s desktop apps and the extension for Edge are excellent, so your choice depends on your browsing habits. If you use multiple browsers on your computer, using the VPN app is better. You’re always protected online regardless of your browser.

If you only use Microsoft Edge, you can only use the Edge VPN proxy extension. However, you should know that this way, you lose out on some of NordVPN’s functionality. Compared to Threat Protection Pro, Threat Protection will still block ads and malicious domains but it won’t protect you against malicious links, trackers, and malware-ridden files.
