Opera, what are you doing? The 49 version of VPN worked perfectly. Now the download speed with VPN enabled is not even 2MGB. Well, the mockery does not load anything. I have a browser Opera next as a second, through it 'sit' with a VPN (I am so comfortable), and then on you VPN has changed. No choice of countries, only Europe and America. But not that, not that does not work. Only upsets my traffic. If now V50 version 2 mgb, earlier in the 49 version was the choice of countries and everything worked well, the traffic of course the VPN took away, but there were at least 50-60 mgb. Everything with VPN loaded quickly. Now i is forced to delete, opera next for I do not need such a VPN, which is impossible to use. Please return normal VPN functionality to opera next.

The old VPN worked fairly well but the new VPN is very slow. New VPN offers only Americas, Europe and Optimal Location and when I check my IP, Norway comes up for on all three places! The old VPN offered 5 or 6 choices and checking your IP reflected those different regions.
Sure it is nice Opera's VPN is free but it worked faster before, not now.

Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I still think Opera VPN, offered as it is, should be available more than some of the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, when it is working, is there a way to make it apply to all my connections, not only Opera? I have tried copying the at the time current IP address to my Windows Internet settings, but that does not always work; sometimes it prevents connectivity, and the address changes with each start of Opera. VPN that applies to the entire socket layer would be much more useful and secure. Thanks for your time and effort.

Given up and purchased a 3 year membership of NordVPN for $99. Works great

Agree. Don't need VPN all the time but it's a nice option to have and it's free. I see today Opera offered an Asia choice. Tried it and when doing an IP check Asia IP's out as Sweden and slower than the other 3 choices. The other 3 choices America, Europe and Optimal location still all come up as Norway when you do an IP check on them.

Looks like...since adding "Asia".......stability has reduced....setting a stream speed cap helped stability but it was terrible for video. (480p at most, still needs to be paused a lot)
Reducing the stream speed cap further will only make the VPN unusable. -

Yes adding Asia, when upon doing a IP check shows Sweden???....just made things worse.
Went back to the other choices that all show Norway, on doing an IP check and things get a little better. This new VPN really slows all videos down terrible. You have to turn VPN off to view videos decently.Wish Opera went back to their previous VPN from a couple weeks ago that ran videos much better.

The Opera browser VPN has been performing mostly fine for me until this most recent update. Without the VPN, my network speed tests run around 60Mbps downloads. With the VPN connected, it download speeds drop to less that 1.5Mbps.

@cbrown72701 It seems that they changed VPN considerably. There are fewer server options, it is unreliable, it keeps disconnecting, and the speed is unusable.
If this is not fixed soon, I'm going back to Firefox, there is no reason to use Opera without the fast and free VPN.

Hello
Vpn does not work under Windows 1709 16299.125. It stays congeal in Orange Color.
When we click better location not ya only displays. I have uninstall and reinstalls Opera but it's always the same.

VPN worked for some days then when I wanted to choose Singapore, it stopped working forever. It is no more connecting, and the list with the places like Singapore or others is empty.

Looks like some new servers on today.
When I select Americas and Optimal location, Egypt comes up.
Selecting Europe gives me the Ukraine.
Asia still gives me Sweden....oh and they all are slow and videos run terrible.The VPN from a couple weeks ago performed much better.
