2. How to use VPN with Edge?
We are going to show you how you can use the Edge browser VPN.

Hide.me is a paid tool, but you can use the free version for few days, and Edge extensions developers did not add any VPN service to the browser directly, so you have to depend on the store apps.

Hotspot Shield VPN:
Hotspot shield is a US-based service that enables you to secure your connection with AES-256 encryption. It does not keep any logs of your history on their servers. The company does allow their users to connect their customer care, but it takes time for the regular to get a response from the support team.
