Well it's perhaps better that VPN isn't on Symantec servers,, just saying.

@zalex108 When Opera was acquired by the Chineses, it had to be split in two companies: Opera Software AS, the one that currently make the browsers named Opera and Opera ASA, that kept everything else like Surfeasy, Media Works, etc. As part of the deal with the Chineses, Opera ASA is changing its name to Otello Corporation.
We don't know how much time the developers had to set up the new VPN infrastructure after they knew that Surfeasy servers couldn't be used anymore.
Also, it's the holidays break and many people should be away, so any problems may take a way longer to be fixed. -

If they work together they should cooperate with each other.

Past yesterday I've read about the changing name.

@zalex108 If you ever worked in a company, you know that employees are usually the last ones to know about employers (owners) decisions. So I guess it should have been something more of 'Ok, we just sold Surfeasy, you need to start using another VPN service until the end of the year' than a 'Hey, we are thinking of selling Surfeasy so it seems good that you start looking for a VPN service to use in Opera'.
About the silence, probably there is no one to say something for the same reason there is no one to fix the issue.
Also, it was never Opera's policy to do statements about any issues.

There was a copyright fees dispute among Youtube (Google) and local interests group in here some time ago and people were furious as for few days all content in Youtube wasn't available - and Opera spread like wildfire due to Facebook comments praising Opera's VPN - but now it's silly'n'slow - it can't be used at all.
Getting the VPN right should be the main focus on first day. Rent pipelines and clouds. The shift is just too sudden and too much to ask, really.

Pushing the change to Stable was too soon. Can't the system run on Symantec's for some time?

Since I remember, it's the second bad management of an Opera desktop big problem.
I dunno - I'm still vary. Maybe after all they're roughing feathers. O has been pushing various models of monetizement across clients.

Hi, in the last version of Opera, when you active the VPN, you can't chose the country like USA or Germany. You can chose only Americas, Europes or Asies. Then VPN become unusual. Anybody can tell me if we have an another solution. See you soon. Thanks.

You are looking into another direction.
My first post explains quite easily my opinion.I don't even blame "lastest" Opera's employees, which are making the "product", the management it's made by others.
Despite that, those latest employees, are on the Blogs and Forums too, dealing with some users comments.
Maybe there is a community manager which knows about those comments...At some point, all those reactions/comments, must be addressed to the needed department.
A good company, recognize, face and deal with the problems, even if they cannot give a solution at the first state do not hidde on the silence.
Also, all these bad management is detrimental for the "latest" employees.

I don't know, but good management is far of that.

Opera VPN does not work correctly.
Normally I can choose a country like Netherland, US or Canada and so on.
At the moment only the following works;
optimal place
Asia
Europe
North and Southamerica
no country directly
How can solve this problem so that it works correctly.
Do you have a update or further software to let VPN work correctly again.
Or what can I do to solve this issue...
What is more, maybe it would be helpful that the mentioned continents have
some countries to select like france, USA, argentina, singapure or so....
Like categorie menu of sending problems...see picture...

See you and a happy new year

You've cocked up the VPN.
I have 100Mbps Virgin cable, running consistently at 103Mbps
The new version on VPNs only allows me to select a continent or Optimal. This is a step backwards.
Selecting "Europe" or "Optimal" only gives me less than 2Mbps; ridiculous.
The old system allowed me to select countries at my choice. I am in the UK and I noticed that when Optimal selected France it was rarely above 25Mbps, too slow.
When I chose Germany, even though it was father away, I was getting above 75Mbps.
Now I cannot get above 2Mbps BECAUSE you do not offer me the flexibility to chose at country level.
WHAT'S GOING ON ??? !!!
2Mbps is not good enough. -

I've been using Opera VPN for a while and, aside from the sites that simply block it, performance has been fine. That changed earlier today. Pages are slow to load (like being on dial up) and streaming quality is poor (when I turn off VPN and reload the quality is fine). Not sure what's changed, though it looks like I'm on a new VPN version now (judging from the different list of virtual locations).
Opera 49.0.2725.64
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2
