iPhone: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are often a costly affair, but Opera, the company best known for its browser, released a free, unlimited VPN for iOS today that allows you to access the internet securely from a variety of locations.


Opera VPN works just like any other VPN app on iOS. You can connect to the internet in the United States, or route your traffic through Canada, Netherlands, Germany, or Singapore. Alongside giving you a new region, Opera VPN also blocks ads and trackers. Opera’s promising the VPN will be free for life and according to The Verge, Opera’s not planning on serving up ads for the time being. We haven’t put Opera VPN through its paces, and the desktop version was leaking user’s IP addresses at launch, so if you’re especially worried about security, you might want to hold off a bit. Otherwise, as far as simply changes regions goes, Opera VPN does the job as its supposed to.
