What the Community Says
Opera VPN is mostly liked because it’s built right into the Opera browser and is very easy to turn on for quick browsing. People often use it to get around basic blocks and say it can work fine for things like YouTube or shopping sites without having to install anything extra. The fact that it’s free and “just there” is a big part of the appeal.
The biggest complaint is consistency: speeds can feel like a coin flip, and some sites trigger lots of CAPTCHAs or just don’t load well. Privacy and trust also come up a lot—some people are uncomfortable with Opera’s ownership/jurisdiction situation and call the browser bloated with extra features and telemetry. And it’s worth knowing this isn’t a full-device VPN; it mainly covers your browser traffic, so it’s not the same as a dedicated VPN app for everything on your computer.
Strengths
- Built into the browser
- Free and easy to use
- Handy for basic censorship bypass
- Works fine for casual browsing and some streaming
Weaknesses
- Hit-or-miss speeds
- CAPTCHAs and site access issues
- Privacy/trust concerns around ownership and telemetry
- Browser-only protection (not full-device)

"@synicalbeanical VPN. If that's not viable, using proxies is super easy in Mullvad's Browser. No setup required. They've also got an extension for Firefox that might work. Opera allegedly has a free VPN built in. If you use Chrome, there's probably an easy-to-use proxy Addon."
