I heard it was good, but this was from a 2019 post, then I read a 2020 post that it was slow/not working anymore. I wanted a more up to date info on whether it was working or not from people who actually tried it.
It’s not VPN. It’s proxy.
(Also it works terrible. Almost never actually working)
It experienced slowness down to about 50 KByte/sec, and even not responsing at all, several months ago. But it’s fine now.
The speed is quite good too. With my 100mbps internet access (i.e. 10 MByte/sec), Opera “VPN” can deliver up to 5mbps (500 KByte/sec).
That being said, most of Opera “VPN” problem of not working or experienced slowness, is region specific. The problem doesn’t apply globally.
