“Block this browser’s traffic if the VPN drops”

3Up to 100 sites
Bypass list
“Sites that skip the VPN”
Add up to 100 sites that open without the VPN. Subdomains are included, so one entry covers the whole site.
These skip the VPN, for example:
- example.com
- mail.example.com
- shop.example.com
4You choose
Block ads, trackers & malware
“Blocks ads, trackers and malware sites.”
Blocks known ad, tracking and malware sites in Edge. It works whether or not you’re connected. It blocks sites; it isn’t antivirus.
