The end is not only near for a free vpn but is on Android and iOS but the end is here. Opera vpn is shutting down without no explanation.
Opera vpn was released in May 2016 for both Android and iOS devices. The VPN is completely free. You can choose between a number of countries including USA, Canada, Germany, Singapore, and The Netherlands.
Opera took to their site to announce the indefinite closure of opera vpn as seen below; We’re discontinuing the Opera VPN app for iOS and Android on April 30, 2018. But don’t worry. We’re helping to make sure your privacy is still looked after.
Opera Gold subscribers are being given a free 1-year subscription to SurfEasy Ultra VPN, a $77.88 value. This makes sense, as SurfEasy is owned by Opera Software.
Those who used the free version of Opera VPN are being offered an 80 percent discount off SurfEasy Total VPN, which is normally $4.99 a month or $47.88 a year.
Why is Opera VPN Shutting Down?
Opera didn’t give any reason but I’m guessing it’s basically money. It costs a lot to run a VPN. All the internet traffic of every user has to run through the servers of the company maintaining it. Opera Software probably just found it too expensive to offer this service for free.
With this announcement, opera has fully exited the vpn market, now focusing on mobile web browser.
I never used it but it’s quite sad considering they had alot of good stuff on offer for their existing subscribers
I don’t really like the vpn before so bye to them
Never used it before so i dont really mind
I thought they shut down this program last year. I didn’t even know why they started it in the first place. Perhaps, they didn’t do a feasibility study very well.
It was opera max that was shut down last year
They fought a good fight for the VPN lovers. Thanks to them and goodbye
So opera max is different from opera vpn. I thought they were thesame bcos max also utilizes a vpn connection. Its a good move though. Why should they be operating so many vpns when they can focus more effort on just one and make it very good and stable…
goodbye free VPN.
Bad news ? for those using it. I don’t really like free vpn. Though I don’t pay for premium vpn
Sorry for the vpn lovers. I sympathize with you
Any alternative or better one??
chai this vpn i have been using on my phone to access bitcointalk, i have to find an alternative now
Bad news. I tried it once.
Me never used their VPN ooo
Bad news for me as I trust opera products.
It’s sad to see the Vpn go down like dis
It’s will be greatly missed
I never even used this. I don’t even know exactly how it worked, so bye bye
As if I know the VPN is dead on arrival it can not be compare with other real VPN…
Any alternative to this please?
SurfEazy VPN is your best alternative
