Opera VPN Shutting Down Its Service for Android and iOS Devices

Few months ago, Opera discontinued its Opera Max VPN which has now been taken over by Samsung. The new name is now called Samsung Max VPN.

It's quite sad that Opera is taking down its own vpn app - Opera VPN. This vpn was officially launched in May 2016 for both Android and iOS devices and was made free for all.

Opera VPN was one of the best free vpn app out there. It has different servers to choose from, including USA, Canada, Germany, Singapore, and Netherlands. The vpn is totally free.

This sad announcement was made by the company on their site. Read below;

We’re discontinuing the Opera VPN app for iOS and Android on April 30, 2018. But don’t worry. We’re helping to make sure your privacy is still looked after.

Opera Gold subscribers are being given a free 1year subscription to SurfEasy Ultra VPN, worth $77.88. It will interest you to know that SurfEasy is owned by Opera Software.

Those who used the free version of Opera VPN are being offered an 80% discount off SurfEasy Total VPN, which is normally $4.99 a month or $47.88 a year.

Reasons For Shutting Down Opera VPN

Actually, the company didn't give any reason for the indefinite closure. Like what Opera stated when shutting down Opera Max VPN, they said the VPN is a non-profit service. They don't earn anything from it, so they will be focusing more on their web browser.

The same thing has just happened to Opera VPN. Seriously, if it ain't making money, then it ain't making sense. It costs a lot to run a VPN service. All the internet traffic of every user has to run through the servers of the company maintaining it.

Opera Software probably just found it too expensive to offer this service for free.

Google Testing New Gmail with Self Destructing Message

Google's email service - Gmail - is currently receiving a new redesigned interface for its web version. Although it's still in beta testing. The new design got some cool features that would allow you to send expiring email message dubbed Self Destructing Message.

The new self-destructing message will allow you to send expiring emails that will get deleted automatically when the set time elapsed. For now, there's no word on whether it will be compatible to other email providers and clients.

Google is perhaps evolving beyond the simple POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols, with some of the email providers, like ProtonMail already offering expiring emails support that expires after a specific time, and becomes unreadable.

View full screen

ProtonMail users can only send an expiring message to another ProtonMail user, and it appears as a regular email in the inbox, but after the expiry date, the message is automatically deleted from the recipient's inbox and the sender’s outbox as well.

You can set the email message to expire after a week, month or year. Also, Gmail users can also ask the recipient to confirm their identity with a passcode sent via text message before they can access the message.

The new redesigned Gmail will also feature smart reply, and a more easy way to access G-Suite apps from within Gmail, and it's expected to be officially rolled out to the general public in the coming week.
