Free VPN in GX

When you connect to a website without a VPN service, the website can see your IP address. However, when using a VPN connection, internet traffic and private data is encrypted and routed through a remote VPN server so the website sees the address of the server, rather than yours. This is especially useful when you get internet access through public Wi-Fi or have an internet connection that is accessed by other devices.

Opera GX’s free VPN gives you unlimited access to our fast and free VPN servers. With a strict no-logging policy, and free access to multiple VPN server locations, you can choose a location that is optimal for you and your internet service provider.
