Opera VPN on my PC is working perfect. I have been located in Sweden and Holland so far, without leaving my lounge.
It may only be an upmarket proxy, but for free and unrestricted web surfing use, it is marvellous.
Critics are just making nit-picking noises, it is superb for my purposes.
I had a security alert from my email provider, because the logon was in Sweden instead of my normal UK location.
Proves it works !
