How are they offering a decent VPN free & unlimited? How are they making money? Every good VPN I've used has either had a data limit or been paid, this is impressive.
So that's the question nobody can offer it for free. That said, people still think of Opera as the cool safe browser that tech people used to use... Everybody forget to mention that Opera sold part of its business to a consortium of Chinese companies for 600 million US dollars. And those companies are behind the Opera browser and it's "security" features. At this point the idea of my ISP spying on me sounds better than a random group of unknown companies. Although I use a VPN service for some tasks, it's a trusted service.
it only works on WiFi tho. Betternet and Super VPN are great over Data connection. Google Wifi connectivity feature in Android 6 and 7 with Nexus devices will work only if that WiFi network is partnered. Meh. lol
Lots of things that haven't been covered here (also seems like a commercial for Opera VPN) You really, REALLY dont want to use a free VPN server. The VPN server uptime, management, setup and equipment, and the bandwidth (GB's sent and received from the server) all have to be paid for, so they may sell your browsing habits to advertisers, along with other tactics to subsidise the VPN server. They will also want to make it profitable, as the people who set it up need money as much as we do. Most web traffic is already encrypted already on the internet, especially search engines and anything including financial transactions. Still, using a paid VPN is a much better idea. This is because you are actually paying towards the server, the uptime and keeping it online, along with the wages of those who set it up. It will also mean there are two layers of encryption, one provided by the VPN and one by the website. The most important thing to remember is there is no such thing as a free lunch. When you choose a VPN, you want to know what it also doesn't secure as well as what it is securing. Your connection to the VPN may be secure, but what about once the traffic has been decrypted on that server? Is that VPN server secure? What about the ISP that the VPN server is using? Are the VPN servers keeping logs? (and are they lying about not doing so?).
I download a lot, both torrent-based and regular download. The downside in downloading contents online is that you are potentially at risk esp. if you download on torrent websites (w/c you can be traced back easily, SO EASILY!) Back early 2013 I was hacked anonymously and all my data on my computer was erased. Fortunately I am not doing any banking transactions online so I dont have to worry about my money in the bank. Ever since then I used VPN to mask my IP address to those prying eyes.
Don't know if you knew, but back only 5-7 years ago, Opera had a *whooping* ~80% level of coverage in Russia. It was The browser of choice. Tabs, VPN, services, everything - it was better than anything in the competition. Then... Something happened. I don't know. It just went bad. Even I stopped using it after they lost half of the useful tricks and started lagging behind, and now they have, like, 4 percent, I believe. My point is that I have a lot of fondness towards Opera and I'm really glad that they are making new stuff and are actually still kicking. Installed the Opera on the phone, will give it another try, and maybe even install on my PC and check it out. Thanks!
Thank you !! With this information !!! Mr !!! Put more video like this !!! We need more protection and safety to are smartphones and iPhones !!! Thank you !!!! 😎
YEAH, I am now using the Opera VPN. It really works! I cannot watch this RUclips video as it is an 'AD' and even cannot write a comment here now. Cool.
Awesome man great job I was searching for to download an app which is not available in my country(google opinion rewards) Now can I use the VPN to connect to USA and download it?
free vpns should not be promoted. If the service is free, then you're the product and they're making money out of you. If privacy is your concern then you should never try using a free vpn services
1. What happens if I turn a VPN on while I'm in a hotel, does it connect me to the wifi that costs money? 2. Most planes have wifi you can buy to use, what happens if I turn my VPN on, will it connect me to that as well? 3. I think somebody said it automatically connects you to Wifi networks if you turn it on is this true? If it's not true disregard question #1 and #2
The best vpns are the ones based outside of the US. Cause they may collaborate with the gov. Making a vpn useless. Depending on what your doing. Check out ones like purvpn based out of the States. Also quite fast
Whats the best free VPN? (For pc and mobile) I know this is basically an add for Opera but i'd like unbiased answers please. (I prefer standalone VPN not just browser built in, so it can cover EVERYTHING not just browser activity)
What's the security or privacy there between vnp server and target server ?.. It only saves till VPN server..and if there is an ISP between VPN server and actual server 🤔
I have always considered using a VPN on my phone, BUT does it affect my location settings and GPS on my phone? The security is not worth compromising these features on my smartphone.
The catch with the VPN he didn't mention is battery. The VPN consunes as much battery as a if your phone is powering a second screen. I went into my battery settings and it told me screen 8% and vpn 8%
stalag14 : Opera VPN is good, but it's always better to use a VPN that doesn't Log your usage and connection TimeStamp ... I use Private Internet Access VPN which doesn't do any logging on user info but it's a paid subscription ... Do some research and choose the best one that suits you ... Good Luck :)
stalag14 the traffic is monitored from the other end of the server. VPN connection keeps you anonymous, secured as it prevents man in the middle attacks. I handle my own traffic and security. Third-party VPN can sometimes be a risk, specially of it's free
I'm using a vpn from another app (x-vpn) in the UK and tried to hit the link because this app I have has a slow network and it doesn't work should probably turn off the vpn
hey,phonebuff i was used opera vpn but my internet speed 2mbps but receive 1mbps. my question is who is world top best free vpn service company or app please send me answer.
if I use VPN on my Iphone and if I want to use find my iphone function, will it show me wrong location of my phone, or will have any other difficulty with it?
I've been so curious about Opera. Why do they provide their service for free? How do they make their money that they can afford to provide a VPN for free but not other companies?
Yesimsure Bushdid9/11 I've been doing it for like 3 years now and so far so good XD .. also im using login information of an already graduated students so i'm in the clear :P
Why should you use VPN on your smartphone? Because this video is sponsored by a specific VPN app and I have to convince you to use it. :)
I'm using a vpn so no one knows I watch my little pony.
I watch the winx club :D
I watch Roblox gameplay
I tried PureVPN and have had no issues, speeds is awesome, Android/iPhone apps easy to use. Give it a try!
Faq
Well Now Everyone Knows That you Watch Mlp now.
Thank you man! I always hate sponsor videos on RUclips but this is what I've searched for my entire life! Thank you SO SO much!

They're nice people I guess. Although people may donate to them or something. I think they have adds too
it has adds. witch is fine I guess.
John Quiroz Just saw the ads actually. They were pretty well hidden within the app, they fit the aesthetic well, which is a first too.
ads bro

For a good VPN Review 2018 bestvpnnetworks.com/
Thank you so much. This video was very helpful, straightforward and informative.
Thank you for helping us understand the value of VPN. With your explanation, I can appreciate the value that this technology can bring.
Don't know if you knew, but back only 5-7 years ago, Opera had a *whooping* ~80% level of coverage in Russia. It was The browser of choice. Tabs, VPN, services, everything - it was better than anything in the competition.

Awesome video. I had actually used Opera VPN on my previous phone but hadn't ported it over to my newest handset. I'll be doing it now.
Thanks a lot dude. I had no idea what that meant. Thanks for letting us know how it works.
totally agree, I like nordvpn because it has a feature which tuns on vpn automatically when connecting to a public wifi. Very handy.
I am running 2 free apps at the same time. Hotspot Shield and Betternet Both free from Google Play Store.
i love it when the sponsors are useful.
Finally the definition and facts under 5 mins
Thank you for this I understand now whats vpn and how its work
Fidela Palaca sameee

I've been using opera VPN apps for quite long and guys I love it It's work like magic.
YEAH, I am now using the Opera VPN. It really works!
I cannot watch this RUclips video as it is an 'AD' and even cannot write a comment here now. Cool.
A vpn is banned at my school and we get suspended if we get caught
Everyone has a VPN enabled device and no one cares at my school
Eh they would have no clue who it is
they would know which mac address is connecting to a VPN network or port or whatever
In our school you'll get caught if you have a phone with you 😂😂
+dkimmortal you could change ur mac if there is a problem
That's why I always prefer to use a VPN on my smartphone. Using PureVPN for quite a long time and satisfied with its service.
Im subscribed because you always have information about things that nobody else know keep it up brother
I like your lighting and video quality. Can you share what you use?
Awesome man great job I was searching for to download an app which is not available in my country(google opinion rewards)
Now can I use the VPN to connect to USA and download it?
Thanks for the informative video david. Now i understand why must use vpn. Right now i'm using the one that you suggested 👍🏼👍🏼
amazing video! thanks!!
so this was just an ad?
Yup.
free vpns should not be promoted. If the service is free, then you're the product and they're making money out of you. If privacy is your concern then you should never try using a free vpn services
can tell whats a ad or a video these days
very good job phonebuffs
Awesome video... really got an important information
Awesome video thanks for sharing David
1. What happens if I turn a VPN on while I'm in a hotel, does it connect me to the wifi that costs money?
2. Most planes have wifi you can buy to use, what happens if I turn my VPN on, will it connect me to that as well?
3. I think somebody said it automatically connects you to Wifi networks if you turn it on is this true? If it's not true disregard question #1 and #2
Nice information bro! keep your good job.
ok.... Now that was a very useful video. Awesome thanks!
Tunnelbear is pretty good, seems to disconnect sometimes on my computer though
Thanks bro, love your channel
The thumbnail makes you look like Michael Phelps.
great video. Thanx for sharing.
The best vpns are the ones based outside of the US. Cause they may collaborate with the gov. Making a vpn useless. Depending on what your doing. Check out ones like purvpn based out of the States. Also quite fast
whats the catch for Opera's VPN, is it actually fast? giving free high speed bandwidth to a server seems...like there would be a catch
I tested Opera and it seemed OK. I switched to Turbo VPN which seems much faster
Great info. I highly recommend Astrill for mobile users.
I legit just told someone on their comment section to use a vpn.....
thanks David. got it
How can you use a vpn app and be able to connect to any of the PS4 apps on your phone, where you can also be able use second screen for PS4 app.
Just got surf shark thank you for the good information
Whats the best free VPN?
(For pc and mobile)
I know this is basically an add for Opera but i'd like unbiased answers please.
(I prefer standalone VPN not just browser built in, so it can cover EVERYTHING not just browser activity)
I know Nexus devices have their own VPN because of Google's wifi assistant so is there any benefit to using opera?
Finally one ad that made me to install their application.
So it protects you when your surfing the web but will it protect you when your in app?
thank you. won my subscription
Would this gra agree about benefit to someone who gra as an unlocked sprint phone trying to use it on Verizon's network?

I went into my battery settings and it told me screen 8% and vpn 8%
I Thought VPN Was You Can Connect To It And Go to Usa Website At Any Where Expect For Space And Multiverse
Thank you
using opera VPN for a week now. so far so good.
I'd be careful.
hi. please share your concerns as I'm new to VPNs. 😊

Great review

Can you connect your smart tv to your VPN?
Any good vpn except for Opera Vpn for iPhone ?
Do I need a VPN in my iPhone?, I use it for web and calls only.
How do I use the VPN on Google play store?
I can't download apps like tidal in my country so I need this urgently
If a website is blocked on a router, does a VPN combat that?
I'm using a vpn from another app (x-vpn) in the UK and tried to hit the link because this app I have has a slow network and it doesn't work should probably turn off the vpn
Hi, i am unable to connect to vpn on my iPhone when I am at office, but on android device it's okay. I wonder why?

Thanks!
Do vpn protects virus from any sites?
What happens if you use a vpn with your data on your phone like let and 4g?
ladies and gentlemen, now you're gonna watch ads in ad :). #adinception
opera VPN isn't actually a VPN it's a proxy. plus opera VPN keeps records of your data.
if I live on a campus for a college and their internet restricts certain websites like Putlocker, would creating a VPN allow me to access the websites
I've been so curious about Opera. Why do they provide their service for free? How do they make their money that they can afford to provide a VPN for free but not other companies?
I live in germany and downloading torrent's is illegal.If I download torrent's through vpn is safe?or I will pay again 1000 €?
Will this app keep me anonymous when im using others apps like Showbox or Terrarium on my phone or Laptop?
If i use vpn is it possible to hide my browsing stuff from middle man on someone wifi
I use a vpn to play steam games on my super-high speed university internet.. I also like to live dangerously XD
Yesimsure Bushdid9/11 that's IF you get caught 😉
Yesimsure Bushdid9/11 I've been doing it for like 3 years now and so far so good XD .. also im using login information of an already graduated students so i'm in the clear :P
Salim El Yabouri dude you need to study XD
Uglyboy FC there is time for everything bro ;)
Ily
It’s not there in the App Store right now
VPN is going to keep our browsing history secure from the ISP, but doesn't it mean that the VPN provider will be able to see it?
Indeed, that's why you need a trusted VPN service or, you can tunnel which is similar to VPN but you can skip the isp and the VPN.
6. so the govs dont know u watch zootube
Whitney Wisconsin approves this message
