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.
Η activation of VPN (Virtual Private Network or otherwise 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., a subsidiary of Opéra based in Canada. By using the service you accept the Terms of Use. VPN connects to websites via various servers around the world, so your connection speed can be affected.
Activating the service adds a blue “VPN” sign to the line address bar, which when tapped, displays the IP address you appear at Internet (essentially the VPN address), virtual country and 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 based on where you are.
But after a few click tests to our great dismay we discovered that Opera 40 did not run at all on https connections. That is, it could not display encrypted connections. Even websites like iguru that for your safety uses only https connection, it was not possible to show them.
Yes, there is no problem with http connections (like cnn), but you do not mean using a VPN for browsing security and not being able to connect to secure websites. Also, the social media websites threw us out without a second thought and thus we were not able to navigate on facebook or twitter.
Although the VPN service is new and unique in the field of browsers, it is disappointing in its use.
Finally, briefly the new Opera 40 also includes other enhancements and features that you can read on official blog the company's.
