Hi all! Am I the only one having countless issues with Opera VPN? Is now two days that the VPN service is no longer working, yesterday reporting that there was an issue and today not even reporting that and not showing the "area" selector. Any chance this will be fixed soon? Thank you!

[Mod note : against the rules topic title changed this time.]

@lordvortigern It seems that you forgot to say what the problem is. Follow the instructions at https://forums.opera.com/topic/23068/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-computers, whose reading is mandatory as well as the forum rules.

@leocg I'm not reporting that Opera itself is not working (I'm connected to this forum using Opera, latest version possible) I'm just asking if there are issues on Opera VPN (like time to time it happens) and if so, when will be resolved. I missed to add a question mark in the title of my post.
If I switch the VPN on, it remain forever in connection attempt, and never connect. It's like this since two days. Yestarday was appearing a message (as usual) reporting that Opera was aware of the issue and that is working on fixing it, but nothing has changed. That's why I'm asking if the VPN have stopped working for some reason.

@lordvortigern The VPN is part of Opera, so following the instructions may help.

Try disabling also security softwares like anti-virus and firewalls.

@lordvortigern So far you seem to be the only one reporting problems with the VPN.

I'm experiencing same issue.
When I activate VPN it says "connected" (blue indicator).
But when I access any site it roughly says "VPN temporarily not available, Opera is fixing the problem" (orange indicator).

OS: Windows 10
Version: opera 53.0 stable
Screenshots attached.

@leocg I was actually coming to ask the same. Since roughly Tuesday or Wednesday VPN on my work laptop (which I can't disable firewalls etc.) has no longer been working for me, just the lovely orange box telling me VPN is unavailable.

Same problem. No firewall, no antivirus and still no conecction. Location Venezuela by the way, and using 208.67.222.222 and 64.6.64.6 like DNS Servers, primary and secondary respectively. WindScribe and HotSpot Shield working fine.
