      @foe Yes! I constantly sit on sites that are locked in my country. Now I do not know what to do. Vpn was very important to me. this was the main advantage of opera before other browsers

        For those needing a VPN and don't want to downgrade, UltraSurf works mostly fine - at ChromeStore -.

              I noticed the slow down 4 days ago and as of yesterday the VPN no longer works as it tries to connect but doesn't. The provider for the VPN is a company called Surf Easy and much of what they do is sell their products and service so maybe they have had a falling out with Opera or are having troubles whether financial or technical.

                They sold SurfEasy to Symantec and in v49 they changed to their own VPN. I thought I read more locations may be added later.

                  Why can not developers see this message and fix the problem?

                      I have 4 locations without flags and whichever I choose I get the same ip address in version 49.0.2725.64 (PGO)? This vpn is totally messed up now.

                        @magma500 I noticed... wish it had the flags, with TunnelBear at least they show the flag and you always have a different IP...

                          Terrible speeds in the new VPN in the US too. Though they have an options for the "Americas" in the country list I notice that I always connect to France. Wierd. My Opera just updated to 49.0.2725.64 (PGO)

                            The new VPN has 4 choice: Optimal, Americas, Europe and Asia. However, ALL the IP addresses are in France. Only the last set of digits in the IP address are different.

                              I downloaded opera like 2 weeks ago and I saw this is the only browser which is perfect and just for me.Vpn worked perfect until the last version.This is the only reason why I use Opera.I was happy with my Opera untill 2 days ago.The Vpn is very slow now.There are only Eu,US and Asia.I want the old opera.Google Chrome is better option for me now with Adblocker and Zenmate VPN.I will wait the old version for 1 week.

                                I'm running Opera's latest version on Windows 10 and all the VPN virtual locations (Singapore, Netherlands, Canada, US, Germany) have mysteriously disappeared since yesterday afternoon...Is it a bug and if so, is it gonna be fixed anytime soon ? I've never experienced that type of issues before. Thanks for taking the time to read my message.
                                Any feedback would be greatly appreciated !

                                  Would only work for a little while ... Opera sold the VPN company they owned (SurfEasy) and thus is changing the built-in VPN to use Opera's own servers. Downloading old versions is easy enough from the FTP server, but you'd have to block the automatic updates (not hard) and the old VPN would soon stop working.

                                    Opera has sold its former VPN service (SurfEasy) and is replacing it with Opera's own VPN servers. New Opera browser versions reflect that changeover, whereas old browser versions will find it more difficult or impossible to connect to the old service in a timely way (since Opera no longer is affiliated with its operation).

                                        Today I noticed my Google search was in Russian. I turned off VPN and it was back to English. After awhile I turned it back on and again it was in Russian. Guess I will have to turn VPN off until they fix it. 😞

                                          Now I see Opera VPN is changing all my speed dial like AliExpress to french. Why can't they just leave it alone.
