Hey, Opera Team. I hope you guys are doing well. Listen so i was doing my work randomly and recived an update which as usual i finished and restarted Opera as suggested. However after the restart i found this weird bug where the Opera's own vpn with 3 respective servers wasnt working at all, where as the local vpns (Browsec and avira) i have are working fine. I turned it ON and waited 15 mins for it to connect but it didn't, can you guys please look into it ? Thanks in adv

@alphablake Not working here too, probably a server issue.

I have seen various posts Chrome VPN not connecting and followed various suggestions. Have now reinstalled everything and rebooted and while it says VPN PRO is available on this computer I cannot get it to connect. Any suggestions please?

hi I read where there's a problem with the vpn. Its been a few days, wondering when it will be coming back? Will you be adding new IP addresses? Many times I get "your IP is on a spam list" and the website is blocked.

secondly, is there anyway to add a default search engine besides the ones on the menu?

Opera 90.0.4480.54 does not connect to any VPN servers.
It stays at "connecting". If you downgrade Opera to v. 89, it works as expected, but since you can't disable automatic installation of the newest version it works until restarted. I checked both normal and incognito modes.

For a few days now I can only access certain websites on Opera using my real IP or other VPN services. Whenever I try to connect to them through opera VPN they fail. One such examples are these:-

With VPN

Without VPN

This issue also occured with instagram yesterday. However Instagram seems to be fine today. Hope someone can shed some light on this concerning issue!

@beacon07 Maybe site is blocking VPN?

I installed Opera on my windows 11 machine. I got the VPN to connect for one brief moment. Now it tells me "VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is resolving the problem". Any ideas as to why this happens?

Re: Opera Vpn not working

I frequently get this message and it never goes away of its own accord. But I can fix it when it happens and have found a way to reproduce it too.

First, the fix (in windows 10):

• open task manager and look for a task named Opera Crash Reporter:

• End that and all other Opera tasks
• Restart Opera. The VPN now works.

And a method to reproduce the problem on demand:

• install the GIF Blocker extension Version 0.2.1 by raylothian
• visit https://www.giffgaff.com/free-sim-cards
• Observe that some images are blocked:

• Right click on the first circled image and inspect the code.
• However, code inspection shows that they are SVG images not GIFs and therefore should not have been blocked.
• Anyway, the VPN is still working at this time (or at least, the VPN icon is still blue). And the windows tasks list does not show a crash report.
• Now close Opera and restart it.
• Observe that the VPN icon remains orange permanently
• And an Opera crash reporter has appeared in task manager, which never finishes.

Additional information:

• Opera Version Version:99.0.4788.77
• Windows 10 64 bit

Extensions installed:

• Block Site Version 0.4.6 by raylothian
• GIF Blocker Version 0.2.1 by raylothian (configured to block gif and webp)
• Opera Ad Blocker Version 99.0.4788.77
• Opera Wallet Version 1.13 (disabled)
• Text to Voice Version 1.5.0 by ulmdesign (disabled)
