Opera notes that this is a feature on its VPN for the desktop page. Whether I’m using search or visiting a site. If I am using a VPN, I want to protect my identity no matter what I am doing. That means if you are using Google search, VPN does not protect your location or identity. Notice the difference in the above screenshot? Another setting worth noting is Bypass VPN for search which is also enabled by default. Default is set to Optimal which should be good enough for most people, but if you want to visit a site that is banned across, say America, you can change server location here. One is the Virtual location option where you can choose between America, Asia, and Europe as your remote server. There are some other settings worth noting here. Note that you cannot take screenshots when VPN mode is enabled so I am posting images below. Tap on Settings and disable Use VPN for private tabs only option which is enabled by default for some strange reason. I am not sure why they are making it so difficult but note that this is the beta version. You will now see the hidden VPN Settings which I couldn’t find inside the Opera Settings menu earlier. Tap the tabs icon at the bottom of the screen and select Private to open a fresh tab in Incognito Mode. The VPN setting is hidden deep inside the Incognito mode. You can see VPN message next to address bar, but the site is not loading. The best way to test if the VPN is working or not is to try and open these sites.
Notably, the ads blocking feature will continue to work in VPN mode which is good thinking. No other settings required as it works out of the box. This means you will be using full bandwidth at the cost of privacy and security. Scroll a little further in the next screen and tap on the VPN option to toggle it on.Īt this point, you will be notified that Enabling data savings will switch off the VPN. Simply tap on the Opera icon at the bottom right of your screen and select Settings. On the flipside, it is not enabled by default so you will have to allow it manually which takes just a few taps though. It is completely free with no bandwidth limit. The good thing about Opera VPN is that there is no need to sign or create an account to use it. Opera browser comes with an option that lets you sign in to sync your browsing history and other data across platforms. Want something more?
