Opera, the web browser provider, has recently announced that it is expanding its free VPN service to Opera Browser for iOS, providing additional privacy and security to its users. The VPN service was initially launched in 2019 for Android users and has now been extended to all major platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. This new feature is especially significant given the growing concern for online privacy.
Free VPN Service for Opera Browser for iOS
The built-in VPN service in Opera Browser for iOS is a one-step process that does not require any subscription, account login, or additional extensions. With just a toggle, users can turn on the VPN in the main menu, which encrypts online activities and hides IP addresses, providing an additional layer of protection when browsing the internet.
No Logs Policy and Worldwide Virtual Locations
Opera maintains its user’s anonymity with a strict no-logs policy, ensuring that no personal information or browsing history is gathered. Additionally, with quick and secure access to virtual locations worldwide, users can enjoy a private and secure browsing experience.
New Features for Opera Browser for iOS
In addition to the free VPN service, Opera Browser for iOS has also introduced new features such as the Bookmarks feature, which helps users organize their favorite websites efficiently. The Speed Dial feature enables quick access to frequently visited websites, while the Live Score feature provides real-time updates on international football matches, making it ideal for football enthusiasts.
Availability
While only a limited number of iOS users currently have access to Opera’s free VPN service, the full rollout is anticipated in the coming weeks. Users can download the Opera Browser for iOS app from the Apple Store and enable the VPN feature to start using the service.
Jörgen Arnesen, Opera’s EVP of Mobile, expressed his thoughts on the announcement, “We demonstrate our commitment to providing users with a secure browsing experience by being the first browser company to provide a free built-in VPN across all major platforms. We have put a lot of time and effort into developing this feature, and we are thrilled to offer this crucial tool to iOS users to safeguard their privacy and safety online.”
Final Thoughts
With the addition of the free VPN service to Opera Browser for iOS, users can now enjoy a private and secure browsing experience on their mobile devices without having to pay for a separate VPN service. This move by Opera further emphasizes its commitment to providing its users with a secure browsing experience across all major platforms.
