Developer 40.0.2306.0 VPN is working fine if you can somehow stop it from auto-updating.

Yes, this works. I uninstalled Opera 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."

Must just be a bug in the new beta, which is why Opera should have a way to disable auto-updates. They should add that along with the bug-fix.

Following pigliacci's instructions worked for me. I was able to find the 40.0.2296.0 exe file here: https://www.opera.com/computer/thanks?partner=www&par=id%3D39772%26amp;location%3D412&gaprod=operadeveloper

Just make sure you have your internet disconnected before you start the install so it doesn't auto-update before you have a chance to change the operaautoupdate.exe filename.

Same issue for developer for Mac. Where could I find the previous version for Mac? What about autoupdate?

For Macs, you can find the autoupdate file that you need to modify by

right clicking on Opera Developer App -> show package contents -> Contents -> MacOS

I have this issue (Mac OS X version). On startup, Opera throws an error message that says the application is damaged and should be moved to the trash.

Hi all, it's known issue: "VPN – there are some issues with service availability, so you’ll notice that there is never-ending ‘Connecting’ status displayed. Our developers are already working on it" - the source link.

it's constantly connecting/disconnecting and because of that every click takes minutes.
