        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.

                            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?

                                  For all of you who recently have issues with VPN in the developer version: Can you please go to the "Settings / Privacy & security" section, then in the Privacy section, click the button "Clear browsing data" then select only "Third party services data" and clear it? It should fix the issue for you.

                                          It did not work for me.
                                          And everytime I clear the browsing data, and them try to connect to VPN the browser crashes.

                                          Any ideas?

                                          Version 42.0

                                            I cleared all browsing data and that worked for me.
