Release mobile Opera received a built-in VPN

Developers from Opera Software reported that users of the mobile version of the Android OS browser will now be able to use the free VPN service, as it was before the closure of the Opera VPN service. Previously, a beta version of the browser was available with this feature, but now the build has reached the release.

It is stated that the new service is free, unlimited and easy to use. Its use will allow you to protect your data, which is important in the case of working in public Wi-Fi networks.

“There are already more than 650 million people in the world using VPN services. With Opera, they can now enjoy a free, no-registration service that improves online privacy and enhances security,” said Peter Wallman, senior vice president of Opera Browser for Android.

It is reported that the channel is encrypted using a 256-bit key. Also, when enabled, a VPN hides the user's physical location and makes it difficult to track their behavior on the Internet. Activity information is not saved, and no registration data is recorded. In this case, you can select the region through which the traffic will go.

“The point is that users are at risk when they connect to public Wi-Fi without a VPN,” Wallman said. “By enabling the Opera VPN service in the browser, users make it very difficult for third parties to steal information and can avoid being tracked. Users no longer need to ask questions about whether they can protect their personal data in these situations or how they can do so.”

The new Opera for Android is available for download on Google Play, but the release of the update depends on the region, so you may have to wait a couple of days.
