      NO it has had problems and once again not working. i suggest you add browsec as a backup for when the builtin vpn isn't working.

        There is an update for Opera 49 bringing the new VPN to stable channel. Try installing it and check if the problems get solved.

                @a-moser Run the installer or just wait for autoupdate to reach you.

                  the new update solved the VPN issue.

                  downloaded the latest installer and updated the current version
                  could not find the option
                  "Bypass VPN for default search engines" which was available in latest developer version

                            Ive got v.50 and had the same problem but somehow by luck i found a solution or at least partial. Right click on the screen anywhere select Add to speed dial and presto its worked for me on the site i was trying to get on, it didn't work for my homepage but i have not added that to speed dial, but try it and see what happens

                                even when the VPN issue is resolved, while downloading files the old issue of network interrupted issue is still there. Downloads get stopped after a few seconds.

                                  Just done the update to V49.0.2725.56. When using the VPN I now find the choice is limited to Americas or Europe whereas it used to have 6 specific countries. Is this a so called upgrade to a degraded option in this new version. Is there any way to restore the previous 6 specific counties

                                    @alanchippy Nope. The new VPN uses regions instead of countries.

                                      More dumbing down it seems. I wonder why they have decided on the downgrade.

                                        @alanchippy It's not in the dumbing-down category. Opera has simply elected to operate new VPN servers, following it's sale of its SurfEasy VPN subsidiary back in September. The departure of SurfEasy's network of VPN servers means Opera has to arrange and operate other ones, along with the browser updates to accomplish connection with them.

                                          Thanks for the post which does explain the reason. It is however still a downgrade in terms of performance and choice even if it was a necessary change. Guess I will have to find a paid for VPN which does what I need now. Can't complain as the Opera VPN was free and worked very well except for the last week or so which presumably was due to the change of servers.

                                            if you're going to use another vpn grab the free version of browsec. no bandwidth throttling.
