      In addition to my post above this slightly different error message is shown too since the "Authentication credentials required." problem:

        Hi there,
        Any news regarding the fix of the VPN issue?
        It's a bit strange that with the VPN turned ON, I just can access a few sites that a normaly use.

        For instance I'm not able to load my home page: https://start.duckduckgo.com
        But I can load this one: http://www.sapo.pt

          Same Issue here! Still!

          Interestingly:
          40.0.2308.15 beta works like a charm WITH VPN active! the final doesn't.

            Hi, any news??
            I still can't load almost any site with the VPN turned ON :|. Plesase fix this issue.

            @ dirkkramm, I've just tried 40.0.2308.52 beta and the VPN doesn't work as well. The badge its always switching between Blue & Orange!!

            Hi Guys, the problem should be solved now. Could you restart Opera and check again. Please report if there are still issues with VPN.

            @ kmielczarczyk, Waiting for some feedback from you ☕

              it worked a few days ago but looks that its now also with the beta version causing problems.

              hope opera will fix it soon 😕

                    Betas are just that, testing releases. Things break. No use crying about it. If you want a stable release stick with Opera Stable. That is why it is called what it is.

                      @lando242 - please read again to get a better picture:
                      the old betas ARE working, the latest NOT, the developer IS working and the final is NOT.
                      So we are crying about the FINAL one and are WONDERING about how the old betas and developer are working while the final and the latest beta is NOT.

                        See the "known issues" section of http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2016/10/opera-41-beta-harder-better-faster-stronger/ to unclog the VPN in the latest beta. In brief, go to clear browsing data in the preferences, and choose the "third party services data" box there.

                            I'm in the Philippines and for the last 3 days the VPN has not connected. It stays orange.

                                  yes I did - didn't worked - BUT looks like opeara fixed it by now.
                                  Its working on all machine like desired, with the final and with the developers and beta versions.

                                  Now I am glad 🙂

                                        Seems like clearing Third Party Data fixes it.

                                          It doesn't, not for me. I can't access any site, and get the same notification over and over again: 'Authentication credentials required.' When are you going to fix this, Opera?

                                            Clearing "Third party services data" under "Clear browsing data" fixed the "Authentication credentials required" when using Opera VPN problem for me:

                                            Menu->More Tools->Clear browsing data

                                            Uncheck everything except "Third party services data"

                                            Select "the beginning of time" (I didn't check to see if a more limited date range would work)

                                            Click "Clear browsing data"
