      I previously and irregularly used the VPN feature without any worries but recently a site I use 'sees' the country I am in while traveling, and publishes my country of login to me in a security email.

      I have the VPN feature enabled, and it is set to the Americas. When the VPN was moved to Opera servers has the behavior changed, or what?

          Thanks for that. I went through the 'reset' sequences and it appears to be working properly now based on the absence of the emailed security warning messages I had been receiving. Of course they might not send the message every time, but it looks promising.

          If it appears to go wrong again I will provide everything on your list.

          Cheers,
