The decision to install VPN services is made by the user themselves; they are also responsible for complying with local regulations (Art. 15.1 and 46.1 of Federal Law No. 149-FZ). 18+
In 2025, content access rules are changing faster than browsers can adapt. A reliable VPN for Opera is a basic privacy tool: it encrypts the connection and helps maintain stable access under strict filtering. Unlike universal clients, a VPN extension for Opera installs in a minute and only protects the browser's traffic.

New protocols speed up the VPN connection: WireGuard contains ~4,000 lines of code (OpenVPN — >70,000), Lightway (ExpressVPN) is written in C and saves battery, NordLynx adds double NAT to WireGuard, enhancing privacy. If you stream 4K or play online, choose services with these technologies.
The built-in mode is enough for reading news and social media. But if you stream Netflix, play games via Opera GX, or use online banking, it's better to choose an external service with a Kill Switch, WireGuard / NordLynx, and a wide server network.
In the long run, it's cheaper to get a subscription to Surfshark or NordVPN than to put up with the limitations of free modes: you'll get stable ping, a wider geographic selection, and protected traffic on all your devices.
