... 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.

Hmm that's perhaps a step towards split screen/web panels I reckon. -

The latest auto-updates for Opera no longer seem to allow me to select the USA as a VPN option, giving me 'Americas' instead, which does not work for viewing some location-restricted content. Is there a work-around or a way to roll-back the Opera version so it won't auto update?

@autober VPN most probably will stop working on older versions.
VPN already stopped.

It seems that the old version was still pointing to SurfEasy - since worked better than the new one -, so they had to block it and force the upgrade.

I also regret that the VPN was not updated in the older Opera 48 Stable too.
Why should I be forced to update to the new version, which has more bugs and is worse in general? (including the missing entries "Add Bookmark" in the bookmarks bar folders).Is it true, that the new VPN version is not capable of hiding DNS requests? It would be a huge privacy hole.
