Opera browser
Internet users usually dodge firewalls and conceal an IP address by installing third-party softwares to ensure privacy while surfing.
Now, a browser offers premium and secure internet browsing.
Opera, an internet browser, has invented a developer version of its desktop web browser with a built-in Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. A user can simply flick a virtual switch to enjoy 256-bit encrypted connection that hampers third party sites or government agencies to obstruct internet content a user cannot access and insulate the users’ connection details, according to a report by tech sites Gizmodo and Engadget.
Opera wrote in a blog post, “We are the first major browser maker to integrate an unlimited and free VPN or virtual private network. Now, you don’t have to download VPN extensions or pay for VPN subscriptions to access blocked websites and to shield your browsing when on public Wi-Fi.”
VPN complicates government and third parties to monitor data by directing users’ internet traffic to other countries through servers.
Currently, users of Canada, Germany, and the United States can utilize unlimited amount of data with the built-in VPN. The built-in VPN feature is available for Windows and OS X.
Opera envisions to launch the feature in other countries in the next few months. Gianna Francesca Catolico, INQUIRER.net
