Microsoft 365 to Remove VPN Protection from Defender App

Microsoft is set to remove the built-in VPN protection feature from the Microsoft Defender app. Initially introduced to enhance online security and privacy, the feature provided encrypted connections for safer browsing. However, Microsoft has decided to discontinue it, likely due to low adoption or strategic shifts in its security offerings.

Users relying on Defender's VPN will need to explore alternative VPN solutions for secure browsing. Microsoft continues to focus on Defender's core security features, including malware protection, phishing defense, and endpoint security.

Stay tuned for further updates on Microsoft 365 security changes! 🔒🚀
