"OPERA"- Releases a New Feature for its web browser,Opera Software today announced that it will offer a free virtual private network (VPN) app for iOS devices.
"If you own an iPhone or iPad, the free Opera VPN app can help you enhance your online privacy, access more content and extend the reach of your apps,” the company wrote in a statement. “This is especially relevant on campuses and workplaces as people often experience restricted access to social media and video-streaming Web sites.”
App represents the first full, free VPN application from Opera, although the company recently made headlines by announcing that it had embedded a free, native VPN client in a developer version of its desktop browser that would offer users unlimited data usage.
VPN app will offer iOS device users a number of different advantages, particularly with respect to privacy. Enabling the Opera VPN on an iPhone or iPad will remove ad-tracking cookies that often track users as they browse the Web, which can be potentially damaging to companies working on confidential projects.
Of course, the app would also have some effects that enterprises are less likely to appreciate.
App will also allow users to choose the location of their IP addresses. This can be important in cases where users want to access content, particularly video, that may be geo-restricted depending on where the user is located.
App will offer users five different locations: U.S., Canada, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. It will also be supported in a number of different languages, including English, Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
But despite their popularity, VPNs can remain difficult or expensive to use. They can also come with limitations regarding the amount of data users can transfer via the service.
