IMO, it doesn't really matter from which country those servers are located. This review says that your data is routed through a Canadian server. It's no different than other so called 'VPN' browser addons which use common but dedicated proxy servers. Opera's VPN, is just a common proxy labelled as 'VPN'. Low layer protocols such as Ping can not be used with common proxies. Common proxies are either HTTP/S-only, or Torrent at most. So, the proxy is applicable for any protocols such as Ping, DNS, HTTP, etc. Without using VPN, your ISP will be the one to know from where you are connecting to.Īpparently it isn't a VPN but some kind of proxy server is used to encrypt your traffic and it is done through HTTPS/SSL.Ī VPN is basically a proxy, but it works in a lower network level. Your ISP will only know that you're connecting to a VPN server.

In terms of connection, the VPN server will know from which ISP you're connecting from, and which sites you're connecting to. With HTTPS, the VPN server won't know what data is transferred.

It depends on whether you're using secure HTTP (i.e. How secure is your browsing activity when using the Opera VPN?
