If you are on Developer 51 or Beta 50, it is expected because of the new VPN

Try using the Stable version, Beta and Dev upgraded to a new VPN servers scheme, if I'm not wrong, Stable not upgraded yet.

Otherwise, you can try UltraSurf.

Thank you everyone for responding. I checked the version and it's 51. Specifically, it is 51.0.2791.0.
As far as I understand, a change has been made which caused "United States" to disappear from the list. Question is, how exactly do I revert this change or install a version that has United States VPN? Thank you!

@operamark For now you can install and use Opera stable version but you should note that it will get the change as soon as version 50 reaches stable channel.

@leocg , thank you for that clarification. Very important question: how do I prevent it from running updates? In other words I want to install the version that has "United States" (not "Americas" but U.S. only) and prevent it from updating in the future.

@operamark As Surfeasy is bing replaced as the VPN provider, most probably will won't be able to connect to their servers as soon as the move to the new servers are completed.

Anyway, to avoid automatic updates just rename the auto updater executable in Opera's installation directory.

Didn't read about, but I suppose they will enable other continents access before launch the VPN upgrade on the Stable version.

@zalex108 I guess so but now they are using regions instead of countries, so you will be able to choose Americas but not USA specifically.

What I am saying is I need to have United States specifically and it was always there until it disappeared on me yesterday. What is the solution, other than buying a private monthly VPN service?

@operamark There may not be a permanent solution.

Does anyone know what the balance of "Americas" is going to be? I'm assuming South America 0%, U.S. the high majority, and Canada the rest. Is that about right?

Opera is using their own servers - where do they have servers?

Norway, Sweden, US, Poland, China, etc. No actual offices listed elsewhere in the Americas.

@sgunhouse Hey Opera: How about USING the US location to host the US VPN server? SO frustrating. I just saw at https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/ , they state, "We do not accept requests to change anonymous proxy or VPN IP addresses."

So? It says they won't talk to you as long as you use a VPN.
