      Same here. On May 17, 2017 at around 7 PM GMT, VPN is no longer working on two different machines.

      I use Opera 45.0.2552.812 64-bit on Windows 10 Pro (Creator's Update).

        Have also lost VPN connection after Opera updated to version 45.0.2552.812 on 64-bit Windows 10.

        I have had problems with hardware acceleration before running under Creator's Update. "Use hardware acceleration when available" is disabled. The latest Opera update 45.0.2552.812 appears to be the problem.

          VPN is just stuck on "Connecting..." and never gets connected. Of course NOTHING works when it's in that state...

            SurfEasy, the Opera VPN provider is having server issues and hopes to have them resolved soon.

                        Problems in Developer 46.0.2590.0 too.
                        Seems to be a problem in Opera's VPN servers.

                        "Authentication credentials required"

                        And

                          It's not just the VPN, it's also the SYNC - guess it's an Opera server problem.

                                  It's another issue, to be discussed in another topic.

                                      It's probably the servers. Last time it lasted several weeks to fix it. Seems some idiot changed something in newest version of Opera and it does not work with server updates. Or, servers are just down, cos some maintenance person is sleeping.
