The VPN (Virtual Private Network), provides a service we all appreciate, because in addition to hiding our location in the network, also allow access to sites that are blocked in some countries. Opera not only offered this functionality in its web browsers but also in Android and iOS mobile devices through Opera VPN, the widespread application that also had other interesting features. However, this app will no longer be with us any time soon.

This has been announced on the official Opera website, where they explain that the free Opera VPN service will be discontinued for both Android and iOS from April 30th this year. However, the site offers other alternatives for those who used to use the mobile application:
All Opera Gold users have the option to redeem a free 1-year subscription to SurfEasy Ultra VPN. This is a free update for Opera Gold users, as SurfEasy Ultra offers unlimited use on up to five devices, access to 28 regions and a strict non-registration policy.
