Opera announced in a blog post that its free VPN service is now available for Apple"s iPhone. The feature is currently available in early access and will be rolled out to all devices in the coming weeks. You can tap on the hamburger button in the bottom right corner and then tap on Settings to see if the VPN is available on your iPhone.
Opera says it has become the first major web browser to offer free built-in VPN service on leading platforms, including Windows, Android, macOS, and Linux. The company claims that its VPN is a no-log service and doesn"t "collect any personal data or information related to your browsing history or originating network address." The free Opera VPN offers access to 100+ servers spread across three locations along with DNS leak protection and data encryption. However, it only safeguards the user while they are inside the web browser.
