Opera VPN App Arrives On iOS: Here’s What You Should Know About It
After bringing Native Ad-Blocking Arrives On Opera & Opera Mini Browsers to its desktop and mobile browsers, Opera has kept its promise of a secure and privacy oriented browsing experience by launching the Opera VPN app for iOS. The Opera VPN app was launched yesterday on the iTunes App Store and it works on both iPhone and iPad. The Opera VPN app has some amazing advantages. First and foremost, the app is totally free and second it is unlimited for life. Normally VPNs charge you a subscription free for accessing content over secure channels that varies depending on the amount of data you access but the Opera VPN app offers you unlimited VPN bypassed data but restricts you to the Opera Mini browser. This means you cannot use the VPN to bypass country restrictions to access region blocked content on apps like Netflix.
The Opera VPN service allows you to masquerade yourself by borrowing an IP address from one of five countries which includes U.S., Canada, Germany, Singapore and The Netherlands. So what are the advantages of using a VPN on your iPhone or iPad? Firstly, you get to access region restricted data. For example websites like YouTube may block a certain video to a particular region so that people globally cannot view it. By switching your IP address from the Opera VPN to the appropriate country you will be able to access the content. Secondly, Opera VPN comes with a built-in ad blocker for ads in Safari, Chrome and other apps. This makes your browsing ad-free and you get to block those annoying ads that spoil your experience in mobile games. Finally you have got a built-in tracker blocker on the Opera VPN that creates a secure communication channel between the VPN’s servers which makes it difficult for websites to track you.
The question that might be popping in your head right now is who and why on earth is someone giving an expensive service like VPN for free? Let us answer your queries one by one. Firstly, the team at SurfEasy is providing the VPN service. They are a paid VPN service with freemium options that was acquired by Opera over a year ago. Secondly, SurfEasy President explains in #-Link-Snipped-# how they are going to give this service for free to users. SurfEasy is a part of Opera which means it receives a part of advertising revenue that Opera gets for cramming a tab on the start page or setting a search default like Mozilla Firefox. The company is planning to make money by collecting anonymous data about how people use their mobile device and selling them to third parties. Lastly, SurfEasy informs that they may be pushing ads on to the users through the VPN app which sounds contradictory to Opera’s promise.
Nevertheless it’s quite a good option of getting free VPN for your mobile device. While the service is currently exclusive to iOS, SurfEasy informs us that an Android version is soon on its way.
