<![CDATA[VPN Slow to connect. IF it connects.]]>Version: 45.0.2552.635 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

I love the browser and the new features but not having the VPN connecting and working properly makes me default back to Chrome. I would prefer to use Opera as default but need the VPN to work correctly.

Anyone else having issues?

After a reboot it works but if I close the browser then reopen it, I get this problem.
I am running Windows 10 Creators Edition on a 64 bit processor.
VPN was the only reason I moved to Opera.
Come on Opera. Fix the problem if you don't want me to go back to Microsoft Edge.

How to check "third part data"? Where would I find that?

In settings > delete private data.

Did you try to delete third part data?

Sounds like the same boat you're in.. and like you, the VPN is the primary reason I use Opera. If its not working, Chrome has a broader base of addons to work with.
