Opera, ExpressVPN, and Gpg4win offer digital privacy tools

Various software tools for digital privacy and security are highlighted, including updates to VPN services and encryption utilities.

Opera has introduced a new feature for its desktop browser VPN that automatically activates when the user connects to an unsecured or public Wi-Fi network. This rollout has begun for users in the United States and France. The service remains free, requires no account, and follows a no-logs policy.

ExpressVPN is noted for providing stable and fast access to international servers across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, though it requires a monthly subscription fee. Additionally, Gpg4win is available as a tool for encrypting emails and files using the GnuPG code, requiring a public key from the recipient to ensure secure communication.
