Opera free VPN provides these options: Optimal location (default), the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Unfortunately the option for the "Asia" do not work as it should work.
When I choose "Asia" location, it connects to a Germany IP adress (so an Europe country and not an Asia country): https://i.imgur.com/2uMWgVw.pngOptimal location works great: https://i.imgur.com/QbX5rbP.png
Americas works great: https://i.imgur.com/McD56sZ.png
Europe works great: https://i.imgur.com/ZNbYHgU.pngAnd please increase the bandwidth of Opera's VPN servers. Previously, when supplied by SurfEasy LLC the bandwidth was much faster (and better)!
Specs: Opera 50.0.2762.58 stable in a Windows 10 Pro computer

I noticed the same issue with some sites. I thought I was getting greatly improved performance when running speedtest and then realized the VPN was flapping.
Also, I'm under the impression that Opera's VPN still suffers from the WebRTC IP leak and that obfuscating the IP address isn't reliable. -

i see umatrix is another script blocker so won't have any affect on WebRTC IP leak.

@chuchkyschild thanks mate. with ScriptSafe enabled, i checked on ipleak.com/full-report/ and yeah no effect on WebRTC IP leak.
i was looking at these addons WebRTC Protect, WebRTC Control. will try them out.
As for now, i use uBlock Origin, pricavy badger, disable WebGL@rudrick were you using uMatrix? if so, does it prevent WebRTC IP leak?
You think you know, but you have no idea.

I'm in New York and when selecting Americas NY City last couple days VPN was working decently. Today VPN is running very erratic and slower than ever.

It's well after the Holidays and the Opera VPN performance is worst than ever. It can't even maintain a reliable connection to the forum; keep getting pop-up messages advising of a disconnect. From the forum discussion, it appears that many are abandoning the browser; it seems that Opera has really shot-itself-in-the foot!

Have now got used to being ignored by Opera staff. What a shame as it was a good browser which seemed to be responsive to its users. Badly disappointed as Opera still have not commented and it shakes my confidence in how Opera will continue to have the confidence of its users.

Using win 10, 64 bit & Opera 50.0.2762.58 (PGO).
I'm located in TX and I have set the VPN location to the Americas. It connects alright. So far, so good.
However, when I access US websites (e.g Huffport or NYT, etc., I see ads in all kinds of languages. Some in Norwegian, some in Swedish, some in French, every now and then I see one in Russian.
When I'm on Amazon, trying to order an item, I get messages that this item cannot be shipped to Sweden or Norway, etc.
Doesn't look like VPN has been fixed, or is it just me?

No it's not just you. You could also try updating to 50.0.2762.67 and see if that helps. Not hopeful though.
