@tobymitchell said in Opera VPN = HTTPS proxy setup.: So the opera browser VPN is actually a HTTPS proxy and not a real VPN, but for performance purposes - it seems to work really well. unfortunately my ISP blocks the domains opera uses to connect to this https proxy and I wanted to know how I can setup a HTTPS proxy of my own and use with browser like Opera or firefox. does someone have experience with this? i dont need encryption, just high performance. This question is not really relevant to a browser Forum, but better asked on a computer Forum. I suggest you post it on - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/

If the above link does not work, please use this - sorry - https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-start-pushing-windows-10-version-1903-automatic-updates-within-weeks/

Not sure what happened there.

@jimunderscorep I'm not having any issues on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. There again, it is pretty stable.

@sgunhouse second one

The most obvious case where you should have a VPN is if you are using an open WiFi network. If you're in a store or restaurant or hotel that provides free wifi and they don't give you a password, then anyone in the area can snoop on you. If you're trying to get around a snooping partner you need a private window (not kept in history) rather than a VPN. If you're worried about government-level censorship they can probably block VPNs anyway. And trying to get around geoblocking ... possibly, but you may be violating laws as well as the site's TOS in doing so and therefore I can't endorse it.

@skyrim2011 I agree with you!

@blackbird71 Because of my continuing concerns regarding the Chinese ownership of Opera, I've permanently switched over to the New Edge. This may be my last post here … we'll see but at this point I no longer see a reason to continue (and that will end a relationship going back to 2001 or 2002 I forget which now). Best wishes to all my former Opera friends for continued success.

Thanks @leocg @sgunhouse for your replies. I also got feedback form customer service.
