Norwegian software company Opera has unveiled a free and unlimited virtual private network (VPN) app on iOS.
The company launched the new iOS app, which brings an unlimited free VPN to iPhones and iPads.
The app called 'Opera VPN' allows the users to securely browse and view contents, the mashable.com reports.
The app also lets the users choose between five different regions like the United States, Canada, Germany, Singapore and the Netherlands.
The company may add more locations in a later update.
"While we don't offer this today, we will likely introduce advertising into the application in the future. This is just the same as playing a free game that has ads - we get paid by advertisers based on our users' engagement with their ads," Chris Houston, the president of Opera's VPN division, wrote in a blog post.
"The other way we make money is by collecting anonymous data about how people use their mobile device. We make this information available to third parties who are interested in better understanding the mobile ecosystem and how it's evolving," Houston added.
