But after the recent purchase of SurfEasy VPN company by Symantec Corporation, Opera has decided to stop using SurfEasy and instead use their own VPN servers. Until now the Opera web browser had been providing the VPN services using SurfEasy VPN. The only drawback of this is that the VPN is available only for the Opera web browser and the rest of applications still access the internet directly. This way you do not have to install any VPN software in your computer and use access the internet from behind a VPN server without making any extra effort. Opera is the only web browser that offers a VPN feature built inside the browser itself.
