There are plenty of ways you can avoid being tracked, from using a VPN service to accessing websites via specialized web browsers that come with built-in VPNs. Speaking of which, one browser does manage to stand out in terms of how good it is from a privacy point of view, and that is Opera. Since there are many of you that haven’t probably tried it yet, we’ve decided to create this step-by-step guide on how you can make use of Opera’s built-in VPN efficiently.

Does VPN in Opera work?

Yes, it totally does! And, furthermore, you don’t even need to search for a browser extension in order to have this service on your Opera browser. Why? Because it is an integral part of your favorite browser, which means that no additional third-party tools are needed.

Does Opera VPN hide my IP address?

The Opera VPN is a highly secure proxy service that actually spoofs your location by hiding your IP address, so it’s important to know how to use Opera’s free VPN service. You will find that Opera VPN is better than most proxies because it encrypts your data, but it won’t offer the comprehensive privacy and protection that a full VPN provides.

Is Opera VPN free to use?

Yes, it comes totally free, and you would also like to know that it has no data limits above which you would have to pay extra.

How does Opera choose a VPN location?

When you turn on Opera’s VPN, your IP address will be replaced with a virtual one, making it harder for websites to track your location and identify your computer. That being said, if you haven’t already pre-selected an area for your VPN, the app will automatically select the closest region to you, by default. If that doesn’t work for your needs, you can simply replace it with another zone of your preference, as in the screenshot above. By following these steps, you should now be able to efficiently make use of Opera’s VPN, and no longer have to worry about having to pay for a third-party VPN or using free VPNs that aren’t safe just to access content from another region.
