      The VPN service for Developer 41.0.2315.0 was working earlier today, but has suddenly stopped. The toggle button is orange and stays stuck at "Connecting..." no matter which location is chosen. And toggling the VPN off then on just starts the problem from the beginning.

      Problem discovered on Windows 7 machine, and verified on Win 8.

              It's apparently a bug in Opera 41. I uninstalled it to go back to 40.0.2301.0 and the VPN is working fine now.

              To stop auto-updates, I changed the name of the executable file "opera_autoupdate.exe" located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera developer\40.0.2301.0 to "no_opera_autoupdate.exe."

              Opera needs to fix the VPN bug, and add a setting to disable auto-updates to help prevent this kind of problem.
