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.
Are you talking torrents? Or downloading off the web? If youre talking torrents it’s not your ISP, it’s usually whoever “owns” the content you torrented. Well not them directly but companies and shit that will go and download all the torrents of said content off public trackers, monitoring the IPs the connect. They will then spam the ISP with IPs, at no time does the rights holder know who you are they just have the IPs, however your ISP is required to take those and send a boilerplate letter to notify you that you did it and shouldn’t do it again.
Atleast for Shaw up in here Canada. One of the few positives with our shitty telecoms
