      @chuchkyschild As it says in my Step 1, I explain how to turn off the Protection Shield, not shut down Bitdefender entirely.

      But since I made the above post, I now cannot use Opera's VPN at all, regardless of what I do. So the problem seems to have evolved over the past month.

          @chuchkyschild Nobody said anything about setting things to manual in Bitdefender. All you have to do is turn off the Bitdefender Protection Shield, turn on the Opera VPN, turn the Bitdefender Protection Shield back on and everything works until the Opera is restarted. Then you have to repeat the steps.

                  no, the vast majority of us are having issues with the vpn, so no we're not providing proof to someone that thinks he's funny when he's not.

                      opera vpn connects https pages lots..

                      i dunno if this will work - but what if ya toggle the 'Scan SSL' option to 'Off in Bit defender..

                      i know that some users will still wannna to have this setting enabled.. once switched off secure pages will load and perhaps vpn..

                      and or try this - look in Bit Defender Firewall called 'Block Internet Connection Sharing - switch this setting off..

                      Check this vid on youtube.. How to Adjust Bitdefender Interent Security Firewall Settings When Legitimate Programs or the Internet Are Blocked.

                      here's link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE0vICxLwus

                        Probably you'll find the most right answer on BitDefender's forums or its Help pages.

                                  I've had this VPN connecting problem for months. After reading this forum thread, I disabled free bitdefender, turned on Opera VPN and it worked! I turned bitdefender back on, and the VPN continues to work. Not sure if it will stay this way, but at least I know it's related to bitdefender. Thanks!

                                    I was facing the same issue and was unable to connect VPN. Thanks for some good advice here I disabled bitdefender and then turned on OperaVPN and it really worked immediately. Many thanks
