How do I access the VPN feature in the Opera browser?

To access the VPN feature in the Opera browser, one needs to open the Opera application and head over to the Settings or Preferences section depending on the operating system used. In Windows or Linux, this is found under the 'Menu', then 'Settings'; on a Mac, it is under 'Opera' in the menu bar, then 'Preferences'. Once in Settings or Preferences, navigate to the 'Privacy & Security' panel where one will find VPN options. There, one can enable the VPN by toggling it on. Upon activation, a VPN icon appears in the address bar where one can click to select virtual locations and see data usage statistics. The user is now ready to browse with added privacy and potentially access region-restricted content. Remember that while this VPN feature adds a layer of privacy, it might not offer all the features of a stand-alone VPN service.
