Hey guys after the update saw that Opera is providing a premium VPN service for a small cost. I already have a monthly subscription and it’s going to end soon. I see Opera is cheaper but I am not sure if it’s fast. So can you please comment below if you tested it already? Thanks in advance.
I’ve played with it a little bit on Windows 11. Without the VPN active, I get 200Mbps download speeds. With it active and set to the optimal location (United States in my case), I get around 65Mbps. Setting the VPN to United Arab Emirates for example, I get 7Mbps. That’s all using https://www.speedtest.net/ where it selects the optimal server for the test.
In short, it works pretty decently. Note though that the VPN does not start up automatically on Windows startup. You need to enable it each time. Also, any time the VPN is not connected, your connection goes through your ISP normally. There’s no kill switch feature at the moment. Also note that while there’s a systray icon for the VPN status, you control the system-wide VPN through Opera’s settings. There’s no separate settings program outside of Opera.
Thank you, this is very helpful.
