Can't open tiktok.com and the Microsoft Edge Secure Network option is missing.

Hi,

I can't find the Microsoft Edge Secure Network option in the settings and it can't open certain blocked sites. In addition, certain sites like https://tiktok.com/ are not accessible in Edge, but accessible through Google Chrome and Firefox on the same machine without using any third-party VPN or Proxy.

Instead, there is "Enhance your security on the web" which doesn't reflect any features of a VPN or Secure Network.

The version in my Edge is
Version 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit)

which is update to date right now.

Are Edge settings different country-wise?

I can't find any solution at this time...

    It's probably something to do about your firewall or anti-virus built in the computer system

    Hi Farrukhw

     

    I can't find any-information online that suggests Edge Secure Network isn't available in certain countries, so my guess would be you may have a company-issued device where your IT Department have blocked the use of this feature.

     

    In the Address Bar type edge://management and press ENTER.  On my personal laptop, it says "Microsoft Edge is not managed by a company or organisation".  If yours says anything different, you could have a Group Policy or MDM policy on your machine hiding the feature.

     

    Alternatively, perhaps you have VPN software on your computer, or a VPN browser-extension, which is disabling the use of Edge's own VPN?

      dftf-wip No, its my personal desktop machine. 

      from edge://management, I got this:

       

      And I'm not using any other VPN. In addition, I have reset the Edge from its settings, and at this time, there is no extension enabled...

      Even I tried by logging out from my account but still, the issue persists.

        Farrukhw According to the information here (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-microsoft-edge-secure-network-to-protect-your-browsing-885472e2-7847-4d89-befb-c80d3dda6318) it says the Edge Secure Network is still "a preview feature".

         

        That means it's likely subject to the "A/B testing" Microsoft do where some users on the same versions of Edge see some features, and others don't.  I guess all you can do is wait for it to appear later on. 🤷🏻‍

         

        (Unless any Microsoft employee can confirm if it isn't available in some countries or territories?)
