      This is common with all VPN services as you are not going through the optimal server in you country. But rather quite some distance depending on your selection. If you don't already, select optimal on your virtual location. That may improve it.

          Oh come on it is opera week end, good.

          Hello operafanuk,I knew it a Free service from opera about VPN, really appreciating that.
          But without problem i am not posting any issue here. may be the VPN is working perfect with you.
          This i the different problem from loading pages, i knew with the VPN loading time will be little higher.
          But i am facing slowness issue in operating opera as i mentioned above. And i have latest Hardware core i5 7th generation processor with SSD, 16GB RAM. i think it is not the Hardware related, because this slowness is not happening by disabling the VPN.

              It may depends if the issue was already reported and on how complex it is.

              BTW, I'm not facing such issue here.

                  Define "rapid". If your VPN provider is a legitimate well known one, you can try contacting their support, asking if they have any limitations on certain browsers. I am not sure how Opera works alongside a VPN, some certificate or legitimacy confirmations? Which websites are you trying to access? It could be more of a website issue then Opera itself. There a lot of things that can go wrong with VPN compatibility.

                    The point of this topic is not about traffic speed while using the VPN but about Opera itself becoming slow with VPN turned on.

                      The topic is about Opera's built-in VPN.
