Policy request for managing Edge Secure Network

Edge doesn't seem to feature enterprise policy support (at least through Group Policy or the Windows Registry) for disabling the Microsoft Edge Secure Network feature. Some environments performing network filtering might like to disable this feature, as this could interfere with filtering. Edge Secure Network can be found within the Settings menu > Privacy, search, and services > Security section.

 

  • kirwan_safesurfer Hi!  Based upon previous conversations with the team, they've said that Microsoft Edge Secure Network is not enabled on managed devices and there are no plans to enable, which is why there is no policy for this feature. Thanks!

      Kelly_Y Hi, thanks for your reply. The company I work for takes advantage of a selection of Edge enterprise policies in non-managed environments, which we have implemented with success. Due to our use requirements, we would really appreciate the ability to manually disable the Edge Secure Network feature for non-managed Edge clients through the Windows Registry (that is, in the same way you can already do so with other Edge policies), as we're performing network filtering. Could you please forward this feedback on to your team? Thanks for your help!

        kirwan_safesurfer Thanks!  I just passed this on to the team.  I don't know if this is a scenario that they've considered.  I'll follow up with any insights or questions from them.
