      vpn keeps disconnecting for me , is there any solution to this. cause the main i used opera is for the vpn nad what is the point of having a vpn if it will disconnect and reveal your ip anyway

      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.

          @cbrown72701 currently trying ScriptSafe addon to prevent such things.
          haven't tried uMatrix yet
          @chuchkyschild are you using any of these addons? if so, are you pleased with the results?

          You think you know, but you have no idea.

            safescript is like noscript for firefox and won't have any effect on WebRTC IP leak. i'll checkout umatrix and let you know what i think.

              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.

                                          For weeks the VPN connection workt very good but it's now nearly a month were the VPN connection doesn't work.
                                          It just turns orange and the internet connection doesn't work as well.
                                          I deletet Opera an reinstalled it but there were no changes.
                                          Also I haven't got any other ad-ons.

                                            that's because those that think the vpn improved were and are imagining things.
