Opera Browser VPN review

Opera Browser VPN is the easiest option here if what you need is a private browser window on public Wi-Fi. Opera says its free VPN is built into the browser, requires no account and has no bandwidth limits, data caps or ads. It uses AES-256 encryption, and Opera says its no-log policy has been independently audited by Deloitte. You can pick from three real locations, the U.S., Singapore and the Netherlands, or let the browser choose the fastest. The catch is scope: the free VPN protects traffic inside Opera only, so your mail app, games and other apps on the same device go out unprotected. Opera sells VPN Pro for that, covering up to six devices, all apps and 48 locations, and the US page listed it at $3.33 a month on the 1-year plan, $39.99 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
