Opera's Free VPN Now Automatically Protects Users on Public Wi-Fi
Opera has introduced a new feature in its desktop browser that automatically activates its built-in free Virtual Private Network (VPN) when users connect to public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks. The opt-in toggle is designed to enhance online security for Opera users, particularly those accessing the internet through potentially unsafe connections such as public hotspots. This update aims to simplify user experience by reducing manual steps required to enable privacy protections in high-risk environments. It's currently rolling out in the United States and France today. The feature reflects growing consumer demand for enhanced digital security tools amid rising concerns about data breaches and cyber threats on unsecured networks.
