Opera’s bundled-in and free VPN service is finally being rolled out to iOS browser users this week, adding another layer of security for iPhone users.
While it might not be as popular as Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari, the Opera Browser has its share of happy users. A major reason for this following are the distinctive features that Opera has often brought to consumers, including Opera’s free VPN service, which the company introduced a couple of years ago.
Opera’s bundled VPN service is available across all major desktop and smartphone operating systems — including Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. However, for some reason, Opera’s free VPN feature was unavailable for the iOS version of Opera for several years, until now.
In a recent blog post, Opera confirmed that it is gradually rolling out the much-sought-after free VPN service to iOS users. As of publishing this story, the VPN service is now live for all iOS users using Opera browser. The company has, however, revealed that it would take them a couple of weeks to complete the rollout process.
