Opera 40 was released, which includes, among other improvements, a built-in VPN.
This news was heard in our ears very attractive in terms of improving your privacy and security while browsing, and we ran to welcome the new version of Opera 40 by installing it on our computer.
Enabling VPN (Virtual Private Network or else virtual private network) is an easy task as all you need to do is go to the settings and from there in the VPN section and just click one to turn it on.
Safe Mediation Is Provided By SurfEasy Inc., subsidiary company of Opera based in Canada. By using the service you accept the Terms of Use. VPN connects to websites through different servers around the world, so your connection speed may be affected.
Activating the service adds a blue "VPN" signal to the address bar, which, when pressed, displays the IP address you see on the internet (essentially the VPN address), the virtual country and the data usage. There are and you can choose, either manually or automatically, Virtual locations in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore or the United States. The automatic selection is made depending on where you are.
After a few clicks of testing, however, we found out that Opera 40 did not run at https connections at all. That is, it could not display encryption links. Web sites like the security button that uses only https link for your security, it was not possible to show them.
Yes, in http connections (like that of cnn) there is no problem, but you don't mean using a VPN for browsing security and not being able to connect to secure websites. Also, the social media sites threw us out without a second thought so we couldn't even navigate to Facebook, not even on twitter.
The VPN service although it is something new and unique in the field of browsers it is disappointing to use.
Finally, briefly the new Opera 40 also includes other enhancements and features that you can read on official blog the company's.
