Hi . The VPN won't turn on most of the time just on odd occasions. It says (connecting) but most of the time now just won't connect

Try disabling anti-virus, firewall, etc.

Do you use any proxy to connect to the internet?

Have you been using external VPN's previously? Or a plugin instead of an inbuilt one? And as Leocg mentioned, it can be a proxy issue as well. One more thing, make sure your anti-virus is not in paranoid mode, as that can cause sandboxing and denial of connections.

Hi. Thanks for the help. If I turn the anti virus off and then turn on the VPN I can then Turn the AV back on and all is OK.
I have not used any other VPN prior to using Opera.
