      Hi!

      Does someone know the command-line-switch to enable
      automatic vpn in private mode?

      Example like...
      opera --private --enable-vpn?

          ...then, how can I change settings in private mode permanently?

          Every time when I changed all settings in private-sandbox mode, after restart all changes are gone 😕

          Here's my command-line:

          firejail --dns=127.0.0.1 opera --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/opera --no-first-run --disable-restore-session-state --enable-low-end-device-mode --enable-low-res-tiling --enable-fast-unload --enable-seccomp-sandbox --sandbox-ipc --process-per-site --enable-features=top-document-isolation --disable-dev-shm-usage --disable-quic --cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0004,0x0005,0xc011,0xc007 --no--pings --disable-background-networking --disable-web-resources --disable-web-sockets --disable-default-apps --disable-translate --disable-sync --disable-sync-preferences --enable-sdch=0 --disable-device-discovery-notifications --disable-background-timer-throttling --disable-renderer-backgrounding --disable-software-rasterizer --disable-gpu --no-remote

              I searched for the command switches via startpage.com and tried them around. I found some of them here:

                    Hey, I have that page of chromium switches bookmarked too!
                    Vpn on the other hand, is an opera-specific function and, since it is not listed in the extra switches of opera --help, it probably does not have a switch.
