A proper VPN encrypts and protects all of your internet activity, not just what is sent within the browser. Opera’s service is therefore not actually a full VPN. Anything you do outside the browser – such as torrenting or watching Netflix via another app – will remain unprotected. When you use Opera VPN, only traffic from within the Opera browser goes through the VPN servers. However, the country we connected to didn’t always match the location we selected.įor example, the ‘Americas’ virtual server location assigned us a Vietnamese IP address. WARNING: When we tested Opera VPN’s servers, there were at least six locations: Argentina, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, US, and Vietnam.
