Why Windows Users Need a VPN: Platform-Specific Privacy Risks
Windows sends telemetry data, DNS queries, and diagnostic information to Microsoft by default. A VPN adds an encryption layer that limits what your ISP and network operators can see.
Windows is the most-used desktop operating system, making it the primary target for network-based attacks and surveillance. Several Windows-specific behaviors create privacy risks:
DNS leaks: Windows Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution sends DNS queries to all available network interfaces simultaneously, including non-VPN interfaces. FreeGuard's Windows client disables this feature automatically.
Telemetry traffic: Windows sends diagnostic data and usage telemetry to Microsoft servers. While a VPN does not block this traffic, it encrypts it from ISP observation and hides it from local network monitoring.
Background connections: Windows services like Windows Update, OneDrive, and Cortana make network requests constantly. Without a VPN, all of these are visible to your ISP.
