      Hello

      I downloaded Opera for Mac and tried to use the VPN function, however, the option is not present in the settings menu
      Previously I used this version of Opera in China where VPN is not available. How can I make it available again?

        Try clicking on show advanced settings or go to private mode, you should see the option once there.

          Problem is, my Opera version considers itself to be a Chinese version, even the start menu has Chinese websites for some reason. How do I change my region?

            Hi @kshar,

            Try moving away your local state file, which saves, amongst other things, your region. Do this:

            • Make sure Opera isn't running

            • Open Terminal.app

            • Enter on the terminal

              mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Local\ State
              ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Local\ State.backup

            • Start Opera

              Start Opera

              Hello, using this command gives a prompt that there is no such directory

                Yeah, the formatting was messed up. Try again:

                mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Local\ State\
                ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Local\ State.backup

                  Hello, I tried multiple times and this does nothing, only change is that my quick start menu now shows Chinese websites
