Author findings: Overall, it’s a slower VPN to use. Also, it will provide just a proxy tunnel to your browsing traffic. I highly recommend using a VPN like Nord, which works on any browser you want.
The first thing to be clear before going any further is that Opera was the first browser that introduced a built-in VPN in-browser feature. But it’s not a VPN. VPN suppose to provide data encryption to a standard internet connection. So the purpose of using a VPN for browsing is to destroy anonymity.
Common issues with Opera browser are:
- It’s not an actual VPN.
- Cannot choose the desired location.
- Frustrating browsing speed.
- The connection failed and not working.
- NO killswitch to prevent DNS leak.
- It will also leak the real IP.
In my opinion, desktop VPN clients are the best VPN solution if you are looking for better privacy and security with great data encryption.
