      How do I solve the redirection problem?

      It redirects me to TaoBao website.
      For a few days every time I want to use the url aliexpress.com ...the browser redirects me to the Taobao.com website.
      I don't want to go to Taobao and I can't use Aliexpress website..
      How can i fix this?
      It only started about 3 days ago.

          @leocg Yes, only in Opera.
          I also tried in other browsers and it works fine, it's only in Opera.

          And it only happens to me with that website, all the others work fine and it's the first time something like this has happened to me and I've been using Opera for many years.

          And that started to happen since last week, I visited the TaoBao website twice. And I have not visited that website again.

          But now whenever I enter Aliexpress.com it redirects to TaoBao.com and shows a "product not found" message.

          Clear browser cache and all history of visited sites.
          I passed the Eset Smart Security antivirus and found nothing.

            @jlvo Are you using VPN by chance?

              @donq Yes, the VPN that comes with the Opera browser is activated

                @jlvo And when you disable it, does something change?

                  @donq No, stay the same.
                  The only difference is that with the VPN activated it takes me to taobao, but I get a message "taobao site not secure"
                  On the other hand, without the VPN activated, it takes me directly to the taobao website and does not show any message.

                  I don't know how to solve it..

                  And when loading the browser from scratch, will it be solved?
                  If it is the option, how do I do it so as not to lose my bookmarks, which are many.

                    @jlvo Are you located in China? From what I could understand from googling, taobao is local (chinese) part of aliexpress.
                    Did you check without any extensions? There are few reports that some (not so nice) extensions have caused such redirects.

                    Most likely you could try with clean (portable) install besides your main Opera - search current forums, there are many postings about that. I have no direct experience and thereby can't give any more precise instructions.
