Subscribers still get device protection and ID theft and credit monitoring features, but Microsoft is ditching the VPN feature to focus on 'areas that will better align to customer needs.'

Those who subscribed to Microsoft 365 in the US (and UK) got a basic VPN with Microsoft Defender, but it appears to have been unpopular.

Windows, iOS, and macOS users require no action; the VPN profile will be automatically removed. However, Android users are recommended to manually remove the VPN profile from their devices after the Feb. 28, shutdown.
