One of the reasons why Opera is so popular is its integrated VPN, which reinforces the anonymity of users. But this VPN was available until now only on the web version of the browser. Opera for Android now includes a free and unlimited VPN. Here's how to activate it and how it works.





The market for web browsers is dominated by the head and shoulders by Google Chrome , on PC as on mobile. But other actors offer very interesting applications, both in terms of ergonomics and features. This is the case of Opera which was well known before the advent of Android or even iOS. On Android, the browser now includes a free and unlimited VPN.





How to activate Opera's free VPN on Android





Many were used to Opera VPN, a VPN application that has been removed for some months from the Play Store and the App Store. The VPN functionality is now directly integrated into the browser, as it is on the PC version. First, make sure you have the latest version of Opera (51) installed. Then to enable VPN, follow these steps:





Open Opera on your smartphone

Click on the browser icon at the bottom right and then Settings

In the menu that opens, you have an option to activate the VPN. Flip the switch to the right to do so.

You can also press the option to open the settings submenu instead of activating it directly.

On the next screen, you also have a VPN activation switch.

Just below, an option checked by default allows using the VPN only when the incognito mode is launched. Disable this option to use the VPN at any time, whether you are on private browsing or not.
