In the latest Opera Developer you still see favicon fetches bypassing the VPN?

Sorry, my previous message is about the latest release version (68), not develop (69).

I have never said that. I talked only about previews (It are images for the bookmark, Opera parses the HTML for image URLs (not only
imgtags) and downloads them), but I have rechecked it, and the favicon is downloanig non through the incognito window too.Opera 68:
I have created the bookmark in the incognito window with enabled "VPN", but Opera downloaded both the favicon and images for the preview through the default window, that has no enabled "VPN", so I can see HTTP connections to the site in Wireshark:
I did not test it in the Developer version.

It's supposed to have everything fixed in this area and Opera doesn't know of any other cases where things leak. But, if you can still find a situation where Opera leaks, then Opera would like to know. Otherwise, it's considered fixed and you'll see it fixed in Opera Stable once stable reaches 69.

In testing I think I'm able to reproduce in both Opera stable and Opera Developer.

Maybe.But in Opera 69 both bugs are.
-
The connections for fetching images for the preview of a bookmark that was created in incognito tab with enabled "VPN" bypasses "VPN" – it goes through the non-incognito browser window (there "VPN" is disabled).
-
There is no favicon for a bookmark that was created in incognito mode. (It's the regression or maybe I tested it wrong last time.)
Here is the example of bookmarks that I have created in incognito mode with enabled "VPN".
(Note: I visited these sites the first time, so there is no cached favicon or DNS query. It's random sites from duckduckgo.com/?q=tokyo+site)The leak connections:
[1]
[2]
[3]
And missed favicons for these bookmarks (1st and 3nd sites should have the favicon):
