"The Opera VPN app for Android sets itself apart from other VPNs
by offering a completely free service - without a data limit, no
log-in required, advanced Wi-Fi protection features and no need for
a subscription," says Chris Houston,
President of Surfeasy, Opera's VPN division.
The Android version of the Opera VPN app follows the iOS version
that rolled out globally in May and has already been downloaded by
more than one million users.
The Viking will keep you safe
"We've incorporated a Viking in the app, because Vikings didn't
care about borders, and they certainly wouldn't be afraid of public
Wi-Fi. The Opera VPN app can unlock online borders and is the
closest thing to a Viking shield that today's mobile users have for
virtual self-protection," says Chris
Houston.
Test your Wi-Fi to enhance online privacy
The Wi-Fi test tool in Opera VPN will scan a Wi-Fi network to
check if it's public or private, if it's encrypted, how many other
devices share the same connection, if the IP address and the
location are exposed, and if others can monitor device details. If
the test tool detects weaknesses, it will advise enabling the
VPN.
The test tool gives a score from A, which means the network is
secure, to F, which means the network is not secure and the user
should proceed with caution.
