> It’s worth noting that Opera, too, includes a free built-in VPN service, which includes the ability to set your location to either the Americas, Europe or Asia.

I’ve found that Opera’s VPN would never work when I set myself to “Americas”, and always place me in the Netherlands.



Your connections are likely routed to where Opera has available resources to handle servicing you.

Bandwidth in Asia and parts of the Americas is very expensive, whereas bandwidth in European datacenters is close to free.


Asia works well, it says I’m in Singapore.

“Americas” should be big enough for them to find something cheap to host a rack.

S3 certainly charges the least for US bandwidth.
