Opera integrates free VPN in its developer channel
Opera has baked a free VPN service into the browser's developer channel and you can take advantage of it right away. The VPN is unlimited and you won't have to pay a dime to use it.
Virtual Private Networks are used to add a layer of privacy to web browsing and allow you to bypass geolocation restrictions on popular websites. Opera cites the Global Web Index, according to which 38% of users online use VPNs to access entertainment content, and 30% to keep their anonymity while browsing.

The Opera preview version gives you three simulated locations to browse from - Canada, Germany and the US. We have tested the speed of the VPN and so far it's decent.
Feel free to share with us your impressions of Opera's VPN feature!
