Unless Opera fixes the EXTREMELY slow performance of VPN, everything else is inconsequential. No one will use a VPN at less than 2Mbps.
As I already said, I'm now using HOXX with IP leak stopper and everything is fine at 95% to 98% of full bandwidth.
Bring back user Country selectable VPN. -

@flyboy oh yeah bro. they just broke the working mechanism. there remains a current of crying. they probably do not work with vpn. so they probably do not go in here and especially do not solve the problem or return the old model. we are left with the problem on one. even a rollback will not help ((((

You think you know, but you have no idea.

making assumptions only makes an ass you of you. making comments like this only serves to make them not want to actually solve the vpn issue. comments like yours are best kept to ones self.

@acidinmyfridge edit: checked their website, looks somewhat dubious to me. pricing for premium only says from 1.99$ and nothing else.

@acidinmyfridge it is free with unlimited bandwidth, but there's not a version for Opera as far as I can see. I use it with FireFox and Chrome and it doesn't seem to impact performance too badly. It does allow WebRTC IP leaking, though, so if you're concerned about that, you'll also need an add-on for that.

@chuchkyschild Right you are in they broke something that was working. From what I gather, it probably done as a cost saving and/or control measure to bring the VPN services inhouse rather than outsource it. It just seems to me they either were OK with degrading the service or they didn't realize how complex and costly it was going to be to create and support a well performing VPN.

blackbird71 last edited by@cbrown72701 You seem to assume there's a single "they" involved in this. In any typical business, there are multiple "theys" within the organization, each with its own point of view and resources, with one senior-level "they" who actually balances the option tradeoffs and makes the final decision that puts things all in motion. The other "theys" then have to do the best they can, within the time/resource limitations at hand, to eventually try to make it all work. It doesn't always unfold with elegance.

@cbrown72701 that is not an issue, can get a chrome extension to work in Opera. with this addon.
looking at chrome extensions which prevent IP leaking, can't find IP leak stopper, looking at this chrome extension instead.
still not convinced of this HOXX VPN/proxy.. will research it a bit more.
You think you know, but you have no idea.

Search for Install Chrome Extension at Opera Addons, then you'll be able to use mostly all Chrome extensions on Opera.Already said.

@blackbird71 not wanting to start a flame war or anything or pick at too many nits, especially since the bulk of what you said is correct, but "they" is a plural pronoun and was used intentionally.

Understood. But "they" is often used as a collective singular to describe a company or department or organizational block which consists of multiple individuals. It's in that context that I interpreted what you wrote and in which I responded. The "they" of Opera probably didn't in totality make the decision to sell the SurfEasy operation... it was the "they" of their board of directors (or equivalent); hence the "they" of the development group may have had only limited say in the matter, but were left with the responsibility of trying to make the necessary design adjustments to the browser's VPN capability.

Connection via VPN is very slow in the new browser (50). Will you improve speed?

Hi !It sucks !
Sorry but the VPN option have a problem. Now, with a option "bests results" (meilleurs emplacements) or Americas, (for it's for Canada), nothing works at all.
And on the player's screen, when I want to see a vid, I can read "Conformément aux droits de diffusion, le contenu sélectionné n'est pas disponible dans votre pays." (I'm sorry I' from Belgium and I talk French)
Like other people I'm very disapoint.
I have the lastest version of Opera (50.0.2762.45 (PGO))
Someone can help us ?Many thanks and sorry for my english

Using Opera 49.0.2725.64. Last couple days, at least, been getting decent speeds using Opera VPN. Videos still play balky though but better than last week. Hopefully they are improving things. Been using Missouri USA and Columbia locations which have been giving better results than the others.

You could also change DNS to those of OpenNic. And if you will, you can setup DNScrypt.
In your router, remember to block all ISP DNS, email them (or search) for full list.
