@blackbird71 I'm from Kazakhstan. Yes, the sites are blocked, but so much. There are other applications and everything works fine with VPN. That's specifically built into Opera VPN does not work. He can not find a server to work, It is worth hours trying to connect. The old version 12 ** works fine somewhere, but nothing works in the new version of the browser.

1.5-2 months ago, the browser worked well. There was an update and everything stopped working. Rollback to the previous version does not help up to the 50 ** version.

@sxsxs007 Have you tried installing Opera's 'portable' version to see if its VPN works? (

)Another possibility to consider is that censors may believe that blocking Opera's VPN addresses will censor the casual Kazakh browser user while still allowing the more technically-proficient users to access their more robust VPNs. This is a known tactic in the Mideast, where the censors are reluctant to block foreign business visitors who fairly often use such robust VPNs for private business communications with their home offices.

@blackbird71 Hello. Yes, I tried the portable version and reinstalled. None went except the old versions. In the old version of the VPN goes with a bang, but there is already not enough of all that is in the new. And the new one itself worked, and the next day it stopped. Previously, this was when we were working on the servers of the opera, but at most a couple of days. And in this situation for almost 2 months so worth it. Made a screen to make it clearer. In this position, the VPN can stand for days on the span and nothing will change!

The VPN first appeared in Opera at version 38, and was operated through SurfEasy's VPN servers, which company Opera had just acquired.

I can also confirm unavailability of VPN in Kazakhstan. Tried with latest Opera version on several machines. In fact, I downloaded the new version because of advertised VPN function, but it's not working. =(( Also, none of the VPN extentions from Opera's official extention market work too. So I guess I'll stick with Firefox and it's VPN extentions as they work like a charm.
