Opera, the company focused on the development of Web browsers, has launched a free VPN app for Android, which will allow anyone to launch apps and visit websites anonymously from any mobile device with great ease.
Like its counterpart that was released earlier this year, Opera VPN no account creation required and it does not put limits on all the data that you can consume through the service. This app will allow you to explore anonymously by not specifying the real IP address and access regionally blocked content by "fooling" with your location.
Free VPN on Android
Among other advantages of having this app installed is that it also test the Wi-Fi connection It scans the network you are on to see if it is encrypted and if it is safe to use. If it detects any weaknesses, such as the IP address and location shown, or realizes that any user can take the details of the connected devices, it will list all those vulnerabilities in a report.
Opera VPN offers multi-language support and allows you to choose from five locations for servers, including the United States, Canada, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. An app that is perfect for connecting to those public Wi-Fi networks in order to know their status in a flash, apart from the fact that it does not present any type of limit to take advantage of its free VPN.
As usually happens in this type of apps in which you have to relegate in a private company offering a VNP service, Chris Houston, President and Founder of Opera's VPN division, states:
To help cover costs After providing the service, Opera VPN displays advertisements and collects information anonymously. It is important to understand that this is not any data related to what you do with your phone, but rather about how many people use their phones. It's like joining a survey. The data is completely anonymous.
These are the data it collects:
- Data usage statistics, such as web addresses (but not the content found on them) and IP address locations
- Un generated number randomly unique ID
- Device Type
- Explorer type
- Type of operating system
- Time and day with the IP address
Opera's endorsement
Houston confirms that the app does not introduce advertising into the experience that you can get when exploring. You also have to realize that these types of services are usually paid, there are a large number of them, so obtaining this type of app for free, as with a large majority that we usually use daily, entails that offer something in return, which is the data referred to by Opera.
It is the same one offers enough light on how a massive global NP service is pushed forward and how it uses more than one might think:
Our network is no different than an internet service provider. We have 10 million users worldwide who believe in our network for the security of their data every month. We operate on a redundant global network in 16 countries and more than 15.000 quality and security checks are performed on our network every hour to ensure that every byte of information is fast, secure and private.
Opera has more than 20 years of history had offered us running on the internet. That is a reputation that is taken seriously to ensure the quality of the service we provide.
A very interesting app that can open the doors to interest over a paid VPN by allowing you access for free.
