With Opera’s VPN turned on, your IP address will be replaced with a virtual one, making it harder for websites to track your location and identify your computer.

Click/tap on the badge, and you will see an on/off switch, information about the amount of data transferred, the virtual location, and the the virtual IP address. When you enable VPN, it starts automatically, and the blue VPN badge appears in the combined address and search bar. As a result, your apparent location changes to the location of the server. With VPN, you connect to websites via a VPN server.

Normally, your browser connects directly to websites, allowing websites to identify your IP address and its approximate location. Opera is the first and still only major browser that integrates a free, unlimited VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, allowing you to focus on the content that matters without fear of losing privacy.
