Any downsides to Microsoft Edge VPN? Is it secure? Does it collect data?

It’s powered by Cloudflare and data should not go through Microsoft

Cloudflare delete logs within 26 hours

not how vpns work anyways, doesnt protect jack shit against hackers

Nobody collects your data.

İts microsoft man they collects your idenity not just data

You saw what they wanted to collect from recall? There’s no way this VPN is safe. Fuck that.

No it does not, and besides I use the VPN and I noticed it never collected my data before

Every VPN collects data one way or another. It’s depend if they actually hand out those data to the feds if they requested it

If anything is free, you are the product.

cough free and open source app cough cough

Another way of looking at it is company culture and the viability of the product. Microsoft is a money driven company and the only thing better than money is data. If they give you a service you should always expect that one of the two will be the “price”. Microsoft is neither benevolent nor working for the good of the people.

How would you notice that your data is being collected? It’s not like they’re going to be transparent about that unless forced to legally.

You clearly don’t understand how any of that stuff works… How on earth would you notice your data being collected? You tunnel literally all your internet activity through someone else’s server. If the VPN is free, 100% your data is being collected. And even with a paid VPN you would never know.

Mullvad literally has 0 logs, proven by lawsuits and police raids.

Look into proton vpn, they dont store logslast i checked

If you are hiding from feds with a commercial VPN they are gonna laugh in your face.

I think it’s pretty clear that this is not about open source software but services that need an infrastructure to run. If you can use these services for free and there are no other means of income that balance it out, the user’s data is the source of income.

FOSS is not strictly costless. ProtonVPN is FOSS but you still have to pay for it.

Arguing over semantics really.

Yeah we know about open source.

But if it’s a product like a VPN that is free, you are the product.

Jokes on you i got a email about what they do

They promise, but you need undeniable evidence that they don’t via actual request from government
