iOS users can enable the VPN by selecting it from the hamburger menu on the homepage. This is said to encrypt VPN communication and hide the IP address. The new native VPN service is free to use and does not have any log management requirements. Furthermore, no further extensions are necessary to use the service.
Opera states that it protects the user’s anonymity and assures that the browser does not gather any personal data or information about the user’s browsing history or originating network address.
