According to a survey, more than 80% users don’t know about VPN web browsing in India. If we talk about USA or Germany, nearly 90% people know what VPN is. For those who don’t know what VPN is, here is a little brief of the service.
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. This is the best method to secure the online data and internet browsing. By enabling VPN services the user can safely browse the internet data in private as well as public networks like open wifi hot-spot and such. Major corporations and companies use VPN services to protect or secure their confidential or sensitive data.
VPN in Opera Browser
Opera has already released free VPN services in mobile browsing for Android and iOS platforms. Just a couple of days ago the system released it in desktop browser as well. Developers in Opera have started this system 6 months back on trial basis. After successful run of the system the company has released the service in September 2016.
With this service now one can browse anything and everything safely from their desktop browser. According to Opera the user can easily change the location of surfing the data as well. Opera will read the location automatically from the device’s location but as per the user’s choice the location during browsing can be changed to worldwide or particular one region or location.
A lot of people have stated that using VPN service is safe and secure but using this service is bit confusing and difficulties arrive at the first place. That is why even knowing what VPN is, many a people don’t use it.
