Yeah well read: Opera 38 with free VPN! The new browser version of Opera has just been released for testing and brings something really useful and unique.
The desktop version of the Opera 38 browser has an important new feature, a free VPN service that allows the user to access thenetwork via VPN connection with one click!
For those who do not know what VPN means, let's explain why it is so important.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows private connectivity by using tunneling and encryption protocols through a public network such as the Internet.
Η κυκλοφορία περνά μέσα από μια άλλη διεύθυνση IP κάτι που προσφέρει (σχεδόν) ανωνυμία και ασφάλεια. Ένα άλλο σημαντικό πλεονέκτημα είναι το ότι αν συναντήσετε γεωγραφικώς περιορισμένο περιεχόμενο θα μπορείτε να έχετε πρόσβαση, αφού συνδέεστε στο Internet with an IP that is not in Greece.
So the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the government or some man in the middle can only see the VPN server you are connecting and nothing else.
To enable the new feature you will need to open the settings. See it below picture:
The browser option that will allow you to enable or disable VPN is located in the address bar.
Μόλις ενεργοποιηθεί το VPN, ο χρήστης μπορεί να καθορίσει μια virtual location from where its virtual IP address will be served.
This option may affect the speed of your connection. Depending on your current location, select a different server to cope with the slow connection speed. So try to change the server until you find one more suitable for you.
Opera 28 supports the following features in the free VPN service:
Hide your IP address. Opera will replace the IP address that useste with a virtual address, so it will be more difficult for them to track your location and locate your computer. This means you can browse the web privately.
Disengagement of firewalls websites and services – Many countries, schools and workplaces block video streaming websites, social networks and other services. By using a VPN, you can access your favorite content no matter where you are.
Δημόσια Wi-Fi – Όταν σερφάρετε στο διαnetwork από δημόσια Wi-Fi, οι εισβολείς μπορούν εύκολα να “ακούσουν” τα δεδομένα σας. Με τη χρήση ενός VPN, μπορείτε να βελτιώσετε την ασφάλεια των προσωπικών σας πληροφοριών.
