        Hello

        I can't use my VPN already a few months. It's always saying that the VPN is not available and Opera is fixing it. I thought that probably a lot of people have the same issue but when I randomly talked about it with a few friends no one said they have this Problem.

        Is there a solution?

        I don't know if it stopped working after an update but it's already a pretty long time and I would enjoy if I can use all features of the Browser.

        PS: I also tried it on a Tablet, Opera GX and Opera

          I watch the site below in another browser's VPN using their UK server. In Opera with the VPN using the UK server the opening screen of the show appears but remains frozen, eventually timing out.

          Why is this? What am I doing wrong?

          Thanks!

          This problem occurs with all the shows on this channel.

              Is the Opera VPN not functional on Comcast/Xfinity isp provided connections?

              I have been for weeks trying to setup Opera for my folks to use for a specific purpose, and the VPN always gives the "temporarily unavailable. Opera is working on the problem" message and never connects.

              I can use it fine on my home internet, that is a different ISP, and when i take my laptop and use it on the Comcast ISP connection they have, i get the same error message.

                So I was visiting a website, which told me I had to use a VPN (for example NordVPN) in order to view the content, I activated the Opera VPN but nothing changed. Can anyone help me with that?

                    @leocg The Website still told me that I am in Germany and have to use a VPN.

                      @dragonfirek So you need to be outside of Germany to watch the page content?

                          @dragonfirek There are ways for a site to know that you are using a VPN and get your real IP address. One of those ways is through WebRTC.
                          You can try going to settings page and play with WebRTC options to see if it changes anything.

                          There is also a chance that the site is simply guessing tour location wrongly.

                            @leocg But the site explicitly told me to use a VPN and gave me the Link to NordVPN.
                            Also can you explain the thing with WebRTC? Never heard of that before.

                              @dragonfirek Search for WebRTC in the settings page and change the default option to something else.

                                  @dragonfirek Then the site is guessing your location wrongly. Try using an extension that provides a VPN.

                                        @leocg even with other add-ons, it wont work. Do I have to do any PC settings to use VPN?
