Why Microsoft Edge users need a VPN extension

Upgrade from Edge’s VPN to ExpressVPN for full protection

Fill the gaps Microsoft Edge’s built-in VPN can’t cover

A typical Edge VPN limits encryption and IP masking to your browser traffic only, and often comes with data caps and no manual server selection options. ExpressVPN’s extension protects all internet traffic on your device and offers unlimited data across 105 countries—backed by an audited no-logs policy.
Protect your browser activity from trackers, ads, and leaks

Our Edge extension can work with the full VPN app, protecting your browsing (and all device traffic) with app-only features, including tracker and ad blocking. Threat Manager blocks trackers and ads before they can profile you, your traffic is encrypted, your IP address is hidden, and leaks are prevented.
Secure public Wi-Fi and shared devices with 1 click

Public Wi-Fi and shared devices can expose your passwords and browsing activity. With one click in Edge, ExpressVPN encrypts your traffic through the full app, while Network Lock (our kill switch) prevents leaks if your connection drops—preventing IP leaks and data exposure.

Tips for using ExpressVPN effectively with Edge

Optimize your Microsoft Edge VPN setup with these 4 essential tips

Enable auto-connect on browser launch

Stay protected whenever you open Edge. No manual connection needed. This ensures you're never browsing unprotected, even if you forget to turn on ExpressVPN. Find this setting in the extension menu.
Use Smart Location for fastest speeds

Connect with one click for fastest speeds. ExpressVPN automatically selects the optimal server using Smart Location. It analyzes real-time network conditions to deliver the best performance for your location.

Access streaming content while traveling

Connect to a server in your home country to use your existing streaming subscriptions. Whether you're on a business trip or vacation, stay caught up on your favorite shows by connecting where your accounts are registered.
Enable WebRTC blocking

Prevent websites from detecting your real IP address through WebRTC leaks. WebRTC can inadvertently reveal your true location, even when using a VPN. Enable this in extension settings to close the gap.

Why ExpressVPN is a top choice for Microsoft Edge

Fast, secure browsing with the best VPN for Microsoft Edge

Avoid ISP monitoring and throttling

When you use ExpressVPN’s browser extension on Microsoft Edge, your traffic is encrypted, keeping your internet provider from seeing what you do online or applying content-based throttling on your connections.

With obfuscated servers that disguise VPN traffic as regular web traffic, ExpressVPN helps you avoid detection and maintain fast, reliable performance whether you're gaming, streaming, or browsing.

Access your streaming accounts reliably

Microsoft’s built-in Edge VPN doesn’t offer location control, which can limit safe access to your accounts when traveling.

ExpressVPN's Edge extension connects you to 10Gbps servers across 105 countries, delivering the speed and reliability you need to access your accounts at home, on holiday abroad, or while working remotely.

Maintain your privacy with advanced features

Go beyond a simple IP address change. ExpressVPN’s browser extension forces sites to use HTTPS whenever possible, automatically upgrading to a more secure, encrypted connection.

Blocking WebRTC can prevent your IP address from leaking, while HTML5 location spoofs your browsing location to match your connected VPN server.

Built for ease of use

ExpressVPN’s Edge VPN extension is built for simplicity and is available in 17 languages. Acting as a remote control for the full VPN app, it lets you secure your browser traffic effortlessly—even if you’re new to VPNs.

Turn on protection directly from your Edge window, and connect or switch servers in a few clicks. Our 24/7 live chat support provides fast, human help whenever you need it.

Compatible across devices and platforms

You can extend VPN protection beyond your Edge browser. ExpressVPN keeps your entire collection of devices protected with native support for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and other platforms.

With up to 14 simultaneous connections on just one subscription, you can browse, stream, and work securely without having to manage multiple accounts.

Premium features built into the Edge extension

Speed, security, and privacy—all included with the best VPN for Edge

Fast and secure Lightway protocol inside the browser

Our custom-built Lightway protocol delivers stable connections, low latency, and strong encryption when you connect to Edge. You’ll experience fast browsing, high-definition streaming, and secure work sessions without compromising speed.
Split tunneling and leak protection—all within Edge

Split tunneling lets you control which sites use the VPN while keeping others on your regular network. Built-in leak protection prevents IP address or DNS exposure, giving you precise, worry-free privacy inside the browser.
RAM-only TrustedServer architecture, no logs, no compromises

ExpressVPN’s entire network of servers run entirely on RAM-only TrustedServer technology , meaning no data is ever written to disk. Combined with our independently audited no-logs policy, this ensures your online privacy is protected, even from us.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about ExpressVPN for Edge

Is the ExpressVPN Microsoft Edge extension safe?

Yes. The ExpressVPN Edge extension uses strong encryption, prevents WebRTC leaks, and integrates with the full VPN app for device-wide protection. Regular independent audits validate our security standards, ensuring your browsing data and online activity remain private and secure.

Does a VPN hide my browser history?

Your browser stores history locally, which a VPN doesn’t change—you can clear it manually. ExpressVPN encrypts your internet traffic, preventing ISPs or Wi‑Fi operators from seeing your sites. Note: searches while logged into accounts (e.g., Google) may still be recorded separately.

How do I use a VPN on Microsoft Edge?

Subscribe to ExpressVPN, download and install the extension, sign in, and connect to a server location. The extension works with the desktop app to secure your entire device while letting you control protection directly from your browser.

Is the Microsoft Edge built-in VPN enough?

No. Edge Secure Network encrypts only browser traffic, offers no location spoofing, and limits users to 1 GB of data per month. ExpressVPN protects your whole device, provides unlimited bandwidth, and gives you access to 105 server locations worldwide.

Can I install ExpressVPN without the desktop app?

No. The Edge extension works as a remote control and requires the ExpressVPN desktop app on Windows, Mac, or Linux for full functionality and protection. It also offers additional privacy and security features like WebRTC blocking and location spoofing, beyond what any VPN can offer alone.
