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.

Well, I created a user only to comment that this VPN version of Opera has gotten worse since now we only have 3 VPN's and before we had 5 VPN's. What's worse in this world is that it loves a range for this service, 77.111.xxx.xxx, being easier to be blocked in public firewalls and in companies by basic rules of access statistics. Unfortunately the technical area of Opera does not analyze a visible problem. I hope this is only a test because the product was good before.

Does the dev team has any intentions off adding more location in the future ?
You could say Opera's special abilities against other browsers is that nice built-in VPN and the built-in Ad-block ... -

@omg3r Based on this blog post, it seems that only those three regions will be available.

... Do you specifically make people a slave to technology? First you give a quick Vpn, and then reduce its speed by 90%
In this life, things change. In the business world, things change. When the VPN feature was added to Opera, the company had a corporate relationship with the VPN provider (SurfEasy, which operated a fair number of VPN servers worldwide). Then 'business-type' things happened, and Opera sold the VPN company to Symantec - which ended the corporate relationship with SurfEasy. Opera is attempting to put in place and tune their own network of VPN servers to be linked by their browser, and that network is not (yet) as extensive or traffic-capable as the SurfEasy one... perhaps it never will be quite the same, but that's yet to be seen. But nobody at Opera set out to make anyone a "slave" to anything; things sometimes happen in different sectors of a company (corporate management and browser development) for different reasons, and that sometimes causes unsought impacts.

@boroyb88, I expect that everyone has read the post about $ymantec buying the VPN service provider that Opera used previously, and how it it no longer possible to continue the VPN as before. This is not just a change for me, and I assume many others, it makes the built-in VPN useless for my purposes. Opera used to have a paid version. I would suggest going back to that model or at least provide a paid, premium VPN service that is simpler (probably by offering fewer locations) and less expensive than the average commercial VPNs. Obviously, the VPN contributed to the user base for the browser.

@boroyb88 Not just slow, if you change the regions, you would see the IP is similar, all located in Norway. And, every time I open www.google.com, it go to www.google.com.ua, Ukraine.

@blackbird71 What role Opera Link plays in that? Is it to maintain as a separate?

Somebody from Opera would have to explain how they operate the sync system in comparison to their new VPN servers. Frankly, I don't know what task sharing - if any - occurs at their server levels. Moreover, Opera Turbo (particularly for mobile) operates over an Opera server system as well.
