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.

Opera increase vpn speed at night, when servers load is minimal i guess. But it is still low and hard to use.

The VPN for the Netherlands was replaced with VPN for Europe.
Thanks for the change guys, I can now no longer watch Dutch TV online.

Opera 48 VPN is working again, including original locations! I wonder for how long it will stay turned on

Today, I have only two VPN locations in Opera 48 - USA and Netherlands.
Are they the same as in O49 - 52?
The speed is acceptable, over 2mbit/s at least. -

Yes.. VPN is totally hosed! If you look at the VPN selection, you will see "Americas", "Asia", and "Europe". Upon checking the IP address you will see that the IP address for "Amerika" is located in Ecuador... Now that is a brilliant decision on the part of the Opera Developers! You put yourself well beyond the machinations of President Trump but defeat the whole purpose of VPN accessibility.. Way to go.. NOT!

Opera is losing a lot of users because the VPN is crap and there's really only very little left making Opera stand from other browsers. Not to mention that V is looking into adding a VPN.

The last time I checked, Ecuador was located in South America. The term "Americas" is accurate in that it refers to a VPN server site largely serving users in both North and South America. The economics of where a VPN server is best sited go well beyond politics and borders.

On what do you base that? As I understand it, the economics of establishing a server network sufficient to support and maintain a built-in browser VPN network is beyond Vivaldi's current reach and not a high priority for them (if even being seriously considered at all) - at present, they are still trying to get reliable sync (which requires merely a single server site) deployed.

The VPN is pretty unusable for the last few days...very slow. Websites either load after 20-30 seconds, or fail to load with a timeout. I'm based in the Boston, MA area using Optimal Location (when I switch to Americas it's even worse - I think I'm connected to a European server).

@blackbird71 I think it was recently mentioned on V blog.
As to physical server locations of Opera VPN - Netherlands used to (at least) have the best internet privacy laws.
