What are VPN extensions for Edge?

VPN extensions are add-ons supported by Microsoft Edge that provide a VPN functionality in the browser. Simply put, they can provide an encrypted connection routed via another server before reaching the online destination. You can also choose which server location to use, which is a great bonus.

Microsoft Edge VPN extension: your ticket to the open internet

A VPN will help you stay private while accessing websites, apps, and streaming platforms.

Stream privately and securely

A VPN connection ensures that you won’t experience bandwidth throttling while streaming. Also, your privacy is protected since your browser traffic is encrypted!

Visit blocked websites & apps

A Microsoft Edge VPN proxy extension will help you reach your local websites or apps in countries restricting access to such websites.

Hide from trackers

Many websites use IP (Internet Protocol) address trackers and record what you do online. Install Surfshark’s Microsoft Edge VPN extension to replace your real IP address with an IP from a VPN server.

Stay safe on a public network

The Surfshark Edge extension lets you browse without the risk of leaking personal details. You can safely use the local coffee shop’s network, Wi-Fi on an inter-city bus, and airport hotspots!

Extra security features

A good VPN for the Microsoft Edge browser has more features than just a secure connection. With CleanWeb, you’ll avoid annoying ads while browsing. Plus, if a software error ever disrupts your VPN connection, Kill Switch will disconnect you from the internet so that you don’t surf exposed!

Independent security audits

Surfshark has been audited multiple times by independent digital security agencies like Cure53. It not only helps us identify and fix any weak points in our infrastructure but also displays our commitment publicly.

Fast & reliable servers

Sometimes, VPN protocols can impact your speed, but so can the distance between you and your server. We have VPN servers across the globe, so you can be sure there’ll always be one nearby.

Surfshark VPN vs. free VPNs

While a free Edge extension might seem enticing, there is no such thing as a free VPN. A VPN is a service that needs money to operate. Free VPNs just get it through other means, like bombarding you with annoying ads or selling your data. So, choose a premium VPN over a free one for your Edge browser for a trustworthy service and robust features:

No logs

Good premium VPN services have strict no-logs policies and no incentive to track user browsing activity since they don’t need to sell user data to finance themselves.

No gimmicks

Research and development cost money. For premium VPN developers, their subscription models provide a steady flow of funds for such projects.

Unlimited data

Free VPNs often limit your speed or data to make you buy the premium version. Since you’re already paying for a premium VPN, it comes with unlimited bandwidth.

Prioritized security

Keeping a secure and modern VPN network requires a lot of money, which premium VPNs can afford thanks to their subscription-based model.

Thousands of servers

Premium VPNs like Surfshark have more servers in more locations. If a VPN provider offers servers in many different locations, you’re more likely to have one in your country or the next one nearby, which is great for speeds!

Good speeds

The steady flow of money from subscriptions allows for improved server infrastructure and more servers to ease congestion.

FAQ

What’s the difference between an Edge extension and an Edge proxy extension?

The difference between an Edge extension and an Edge proxy extension is that the extension refers to a small add-on to your browser in the most general sense. An Edge proxy extension refers to that add-on’s function — it will use a proxy server.

Does Microsoft Edge have a VPN proxy extension?

Yes, Microsoft Edge VPN proxy extensions are available. However, unlike the app, proxy extensions can only protect the traffic on your browser. The VPN proxy extension won’t protect that traffic if you use the internet on other apps.

Does Edge have a built-in VPN?

Microsoft Edge Secure Network is the VPN functionality baked into Edge. Users can switch it on after logging in with a Microsoft account. It’s mostly meant for security purposes and provides no server location options, as well as being limited to 5GB/month.

What is the best free VPN proxy extension for Edge?

Though there are many free VPN proxy extensions available, it’s not worth the risk. Often, these free proxy extensions live off of monetizing what you do online. Regarding speed, features, and server variety, it’s also of much lower quality than a paid VPN proxy extension.

How do I set up a VPN proxy extension for Microsoft Edge?

To activate a VPN extension on Edge, you need to get it via the Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Simply navigate to the one you like and click Get.

Or get Surfshark and check out the support guide on how to set up the Surfshark browser extension on Edge.

How do I know if my VPN Edge extension is working?

There are several ways to check if your VPN works, like checking your IP address or performing a DNS leak test. Here’s what you should do:

Turn your VPN off.
Run the DNS leak test and your IP address test.
Note down the results.
Turn the VPN extension on.
Run the tests again.
If the results are the same as when you ran the tests the first time, your VPN extension isn’t working.
