Microsoft announced it will retire the Privacy Protection VPN feature in the Defender app on February 28, 2025, citing low usage and a shift in priorities; device protection, identity theft, and U.S. credit monitoring remain unaffected, no action is needed for Windows/iOS/macOS users, and Android users should remove the Defender VPN profile to avoid post-deprecation network issues, with the change following recent Microsoft 365 price increases tied to AI feature integrations.
