<![CDATA[OPERA Developer Version 39.0.2234.0 VPN ISSUES]]>I have been using the Opera Browser Developer version for Windows for a couple of weeks now with no issues, including the excellent VPN. Then something changed which caused the VPN to only work in Private Windows, this was not an issue for a few days, until this evening when my MENU button turned red and asked me restart Opera to update it. Since I did this, when I launch a new Private Window and switch on the VPN, I can no longer get on any websites, I see a message:
This site canโ€™t be reached - The web page at http://www.example.com might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Can anyone help or advise what has happened? With the VPN disabled, websites ARE accessible. I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the developer version from the original download I had but I suspect upon reinstall it calls upon the most current version of the developer app and therefore I have the same issue. Perhaps it is just a bug that needs ironing out. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Version: 43.0.2403.0 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: developer
System: Mac OS X 10.12.1 64-bit

Attempting to activate VPN yields a Connecting... indication. It never connects.
Virtual Location Menu only includes Canada

My primary interest in Opera is the VPN. Worked well up until a few weeks ago.

It has been broken since the last update, a few weeks ago. I might as well go back to Chrome...

I believe the problem is caused by Avast's SecureLine VPN component. I did the following and now Opera's VPN works:

Open Avast from the system tray.

Click on the Settings cog in the top right-hand corner.

Select Tools from the menu on the left.

Disable SecureLine VPN.

Reboot.

Did not help.

When I open Opera Developer 39 (the latest update, whatever it is), there's no VPN button, but the VPN seems automatically switched on in the normal windows. I'm in the UK but previously set it to Netherlands, and it's stuck on Netherlands so I can't watch the BBC. To do so I have to open a Private window with VPN switched off!

Are you a paid Opera employee or a community member chosen to moderate these forums?

Second option. If i was an Opera employee i guess i would have access to developers.

Gotcha.

What silence? From who?

The VPN issue affects just a small percentage of the users as it seems and people from Opera are trying to find out what may be causing those problems.

That doesn't explain the cone of silence.
