Opera launches Pro tier for its built-in browser VPN

After becoming the first major browser to include a free built-in VPN five years ago, Opera has announced its new VPN Pro subscription service.

Unlike its browser’s existing free VPN, Opera VPN Pro is a premium device-wide VPN that provides users with additional security and privacy protection for their entire Android smartphone.

While standalone VPN services require users to install an additional app and register for an account, Opera aims to keep the online security of its users simple and easy. With Opera VPN Pro, the company’s users can easily subscribe using their existing Opera sync accounts without having to download a separate app.

In addition to providing improved security for an entire device, Opera VPN Pro can protect up to six different Android smartphones under one subscription. Next-generation encryption also helps keep user data safe no matter what app is running on their device.

Opera VPN Pro

Just like its free VPN, Opera VPN Pro is a no-log service but it also offers access to more than 3,000 private network servers in over 30 virtual locations worldwide. This allows users to stream videos, download files and browse the web securely when connected to public Wi-Fi.

At the same time, Opera’s premium VPN service can be run in data-saving mode so that users don’t go over the limits of their mobile phone plans.

While a three month plan will eventually cost $8.97, Opera is currently running a promotion where new VPN Pro users only pay $1.99 per month on the three month plan while the service is in beta. However, users can also pay monthly for just $2.99 each month. There is even a 7-day free trial period for new users to test out the service as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Product manager of Opera for Android, Stefan Stjernelund provided further insight on the company’s decision to launch a premium version of its VPN service in a press release, saying:

“We at Opera have always been focusing on ensuring users’ privacy by constantly introducing free built-in advanced features aimed at protecting users when they are surfing the web. Recently, we were spotting the increasing interest in trusted entire-device protection based on our users’ requests. That’s why launching a trusted VPN Pro solution was a logical further step for Opera.”

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
