Looks like...since adding "Asia".......stability has reduced....setting a stream speed cap helped stability but it was terrible for video. (480p at most, still needs to be paused a lot)
Reducing the stream speed cap further will only make the VPN unusable. -

Yes adding Asia, when upon doing a IP check shows Sweden???....just made things worse.
Went back to the other choices that all show Norway, on doing an IP check and things get a little better. This new VPN really slows all videos down terrible. You have to turn VPN off to view videos decently.Wish Opera went back to their previous VPN from a couple weeks ago that ran videos much better.

The Opera browser VPN has been performing mostly fine for me until this most recent update. Without the VPN, my network speed tests run around 60Mbps downloads. With the VPN connected, it download speeds drop to less that 1.5Mbps.

@cbrown72701 It seems that they changed VPN considerably. There are fewer server options, it is unreliable, it keeps disconnecting, and the speed is unusable.
If this is not fixed soon, I'm going back to Firefox, there is no reason to use Opera without the fast and free VPN.

Hello
Vpn does not work under Windows 1709 16299.125. It stays congeal in Orange Color.
When we click better location not ya only displays. I have uninstall and reinstalls Opera but it's always the same.
Thank you for your answers.

VPN worked for some days then when I wanted to choose Singapore, it stopped working forever. It is no more connecting, and the list with the places like Singapore or others is empty.

Looks like some new servers on today.
When I select Americas and Optimal location, Egypt comes up.
Selecting Europe gives me the Ukraine.
Asia still gives me Sweden....oh and they all are slow and videos run terrible.The VPN from a couple weeks ago performed much better.

@raresantoniu I had the same problem. I had to uninstall Opera and installed it back. But there still is another problem. The IP address provided for "Americas", it is one from Norway (Go figure). There is not countries any more but blocks as Europe, Asia and Americas. I have no clue about this, though.

My opera updated itself 2 days ago. I could use VPN fast and had no problems with it. Now, i can connect but it's like 33.6kbps connection. I hope they revert it to the old one..

the bit about firefox not true. firefox and cyberfox both take FAR longer to launch, plus with opera you can use both opera and chrome extensions. so in a nutshell even without the vpn in my book opera is the better choice.

... Since version 49.0.2725.64 - installed 22 December.
We now choose Europe / Americas / Asia or Optimal Location
They all funnel through 77.11.24x.xx
They all slow down upload and download speed enormously like in one test from 33Mbps to 345Kbps !!!
NOT good.
Opera's new VPN provider sucks.
BUZZ33

Dear Opera employees,
Can you give us a clue when the VPN problems might resolve? Is this the new normal, or should we just wait a couple days for things to improve? We need to know whether to get a new VPN or just wait for Opera VPN to improve.I'm still using v49, but there are only 3 VPN regions, all going through Norway or Sweden. I need the USA, which I was getting fine every day until last night.

But how long is "soon" and when will there be as much bandwidth as before?
