- Clicking on the badge shows the amount of data sent by the VPN since the beginning of the month on a graph. By clicking on the drop-down menu Virtual position you can select the destination server: Europe, Asia or Americas. By default, Opera chooses the fastest location. If in doubt, do not change the location or choose "Best location" if you find that your connection is too slow.

Note: a VPN - for Virtual Private Network - is used to encapsulate your data in a secure tunnel. This prevents hackers from intercepting your communications on the Net. Also, your public IP address is changed. You thus become anonymous. Be careful though: a VPN will not prevent you from catching malware if you browse poorly secured sites!
