@leocg I think Opera should make a notice on pages to users that VPN may not be available in some countries or regions so that they wont be as confused as I am.

introduction of VPN on official pages

What happens if you download the Opera installer, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", set the language to US English, uncheck "import data from default browser" and install? Does it show up then? (If it does, it still might not work in China, but you can try.)

Download this zip file, extract it and load launcher.exe to test if VPN shows up there. It's just a fresh, standalone installation of the latest stable Opera that I put on my US English Windows 10 Pro and zipped up. VPN shows up in it. You can see what it does on your system.

@burnout426 I really appreciated your help Unfortunately it still doesn't show up. I have also set my region settings in Windows to US or UK and rebooted my device, but it remains.

It was worth a try at least.

I double-checked with Opera. The VPN feature just isn't available in China.

@burnout426 Got it. So I thought Opera should make it clearer to us users, like placing some notes under their introduction.

@jachui Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

@burnout426 Whatever, thanks for your help again. This is my first time chatting so long with foreigners on-line. You're just so warm-hearted.
