I've just checked and VPN is working here. I'm using 39.0.2234.0 on Windows 10 build 14342 if that matters.
To try to help figuring out what may be happening, I think people could answer a few questions:
What OS are you using?
From where are you accessing?
Do you use any firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware or similar software?
Do you use a proxy to access the internet?What OS are you using?: Windows 10 Professional, Insider Preview Build 14342
From where are you accessing?: United States
Do you use any firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware or similar software?: Windows Defender
Do you use a proxy to access the internet?: No.

Standalone here (Win10). It's been dead all day (didn't try yesterday). For a friend, too.

@pdn216, I have had this issue as well and after a week it started hanging then stating that the websites I'm trying to reach cannot be found or that it has moved. However, I have installed a VM running Windows 10 and it seems to be working fine, even though the Opera Developer v.39.0.2234.0 on my regular desktop isn't. I'm wondering if the VM is bypassing a blocker that my ISP is preventing me from using Opera's VPN feature? I'm not entirely sure if it is actually my ISP blocking but they are able to do that.

Same here again.
Win 7 64bit Home Edition. Latest Opera dev. version. No extensions.
Writing from Poland.
VPN mark gets blue after opening new private window, then it goes orange when i try to open any site (site cannot be found). -

I'm an expat living in Beijing, China.
The VPN worked well here for the first few days. Then became unreliable (forever to connect), then the forced access through a private browsing window was annoying (all auto logins/cookies are rendered useless), now it doesn't work at all.
I did wonder if the Chinese investment/potential investment in Opera may be the reason. -

I did a clean install of Opera Developer:
UK
Version: 39.0.2234.0 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: developer
System: Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64) Pro 1511Disabled the firewall (for testing purposes), No proxy, not a single extension.
VPN still not working. And it was working perfectly fine in this exact same environment just before the update to 39.0.2234.0.
When I open the private VPN window it always shows Disabled and when I click to enable it connects to Canada as before it was showing connected to Germany. When the issue started a couple of seconds after clicking on a page it was showing an error. Now it will never resolve and form time to time bottom left shows "Sending request to bla-bla-bla".

I've just reinstalled the previous release of Opera Developer from https://get.geo.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera-developer/39.0.2226.0/win/ (64bit version), and can confirm that the VPN works perfectly in Private Browsing on my system (Windows 10). Latest release doesn't. Nothing has changed on my system, so it's clearly something related to this release. Think I'll stick with 39.0.2226.0 for now

Nice to see that Opera is on top of the situation. Ahem.
OK, so with that older version, how do we disable automatic upgrades? For some reason, I don't see that option in Settings.

Interesting that a previous version works. I am still using the latest version of Opera Developer in a virtual machine on the same computer that was having the same issue of not connecting, just like you all.
I'm not sure how else to troubleshoot this?

I installed the old version (2226) and, like all of you, VPN connections worked.
But, like rseller commented, how do we stop the auto updates?
As soon as it updates to the newer version, I am unable to connect to any website through the VPN service. -
