      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.

              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.

                                Thanks Opera team - VPN now connects. Unfortunately "unauthorized access" issue remains.

                                  Remains at "connecting"

                                        it's not working on

                                        Version: 42.0.2374.0
                                        Update stream: developer
                                        System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

                                        as well.

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

                                          When I run Opera, if I go and clear the history (all but saved passwords) - this will switch off the vpn, then I switch the vpn on (it takes some time) and it doesn't drop, it's stable. This is until I close Opera. After I close and run again I need to do the same thing to make it work otherwise it's flashing blue/amber and takes more than a minute to open a page.

                                          Please fix.

                                          why you always have to break the vpn with every new build?
