<![CDATA[Cannot connect to the VPN]]>When I activate the VPN it stays with "Connecting..." status and there isn't any virtual location to choose from. The only option that appears is "optimal location", no other options appear. Thus, I can't navigate while the VPN is on. Is there any solution to this problem?

Opera version: 41.0.2353.46
OSX version: MacOS Sierra 10.12.1

Hello there,

None of the previously mentioned remedies have fixed it. What should I do?

Some VPN Extension modifies the connexion even if just work for specific pages.

On both Opera and Opera Developer for Mac OS. I've completely removed the apps and reinstalled, also removing some files from Application Support and Library/Cache directories.

Symptoms are that only Optimal Location can be selected, there are no other locations listed (and actually, Optimal Location isn't even available until you first try and connect). Then when trying to connect, it never succeeds.

I don't believe I have any such apps running or even on my computer. The VPN button stays Orange all the time, it never becomes blue. Is there anything else that could be causing this?

Turning off the app worked for me.

When the VPN is switched on it only says connecting and I cannot go anywhere online until I turn it back off. Any other ideas?
