Users can also let the Opera browser intelligently select the optimal server location based on factors such as network speed, latency, location and server capacity.
An icon labeled “VPN” will appear in the browser, from which you can toggle VPN on and off, and choose a location. Go to “Settings” (or “Preferences” on Mac), choose “Privacy & Security” and then toggle the free VPN. Using the free VPN in OperaĪfter downloading the browser, enabling VPN is easy. More than 70% of people who knew what a VPN was but still didn’t use one, when asked why, said it was because they found VPN services difficult to use and were not willing to pay for the subscription. Still, more than 80% of the people questioned in the USA and Germany were concerned about their online privacy. Only every second person we asked in a global survey knew what a VPN was. Until now, VPNs have largely been used by people who have a good understanding of how the internet works. We strongly believe that if more people knew how the internet truly works, they would use a VPN – and we hope that by making our browser VPN free and easy to use, it will become an essential tool for everyone.
The VPN lets you choose where to appear on the internet, giving you online privacy and security a boost while making content easier to access. When turned on, the browser VPN creates a secure connection to one of Opera’s five server locations around the world. With this launch, Opera becomes the first major browser to release a built-in VPN service.
Today, we launch Opera 40 with our new free, unlimited, no-log browser VPN service.
