SahwaPrivacy researcher debunks Microsoft Edge’s free VPN marketing, says it's "NOT a VPN"
The_DecryptorThe original use case for this stuff was unencrypted HTTP with a public WiFi connection, in which case your ISP is the owners of whatever shop you’re in and yeah they could see everything.
If you’re at home or whatever it offers effectively no benefits, doesn’t “block trackers” or whatever nonsense like Nord claims, but I don’t think Microsoft ever claimed that it did.

Porn.
Also my ISP sniffs packets enough to send copyright complaints, so I’d rather outsource that exposure to a country with privacy laws.
This isn’t sending your packets anywhere but their closest datacenter, not sure I’d trust MS (Or rather, Cloudflare) with your porn rather than your ISP who you’re actually paying.
For porn (in the us), the goal is geolocation spoofing to avoid ID requirements, not anonymity.
