<![CDATA[Add custom bypass URL's for VPN]]>Currently there is the option to enable the "Bypass VPN for default search engines". When at a corporate network I would like the ability to add in a custom URL pattern to bypass the VPN. I have to manually switch on and off the VPN all the time.

For example I work at company awesome.com. The company has internal advanced networking and protected access to internal servers all in the form of <service>.awesome.com. Since they cannot be accessed from outside the network with the VPN enabled it does not exist. With the custom bypass I can allow all awesome.com traffic to stay within the network, but all other traffic goes through the VPN. Right now I have to manually switch on and off the VPN all the time to get my work done.

Thank you 🙂

"Turn off/on for this site" for example, Like it works for privacy protection popup.

From now it possible to set a custom sites, where VPN will off automatically.
Open opera://settings/vpnBypassRules
input https://www.youtube.com - save.

Do you plan to do the reverse configuration - enable VPN only on specified sites - in future?

In this way, you can add example.com, and have it bypass the VPN, and all other non-whitelisted domains route through the VPN. As we all know, the VPN feature is great, but it impacts performance.

Not all sites visited require the use of VPN, and some sites out there won't recognize you if you don't use the IP you had when creating your account. Therefore it is important to make the VPN option site-specific; meaning that you would have the option to either turn it on globally with an exception switch on some sites or an option to switch it on on specific sites only...

But what i see is some smart people here quickly jump into defense and tell us it won't work.
That, my friend, is the main difference in company philosophy between Google and Yahoo and see how those two companies land.

this feature will not check request URLs, VPN feature will be disabled for certain tab.

There is no mention about it in this topic.

If you think that "Bypass VPN for default search engines" option works the same way, you are wrong. It works as I wrote above.

The example:

Non-through VPN

Through VPN (It's in the same tab)

For example: if you add youtube.com as a site to bypass, it would have no sense (if you want to save "VPN" bandwidth), because videos loads from CDN, their URL looks like that: https://r2---sn-5hnekn7k.googlevideo.com, images too – their domain is i.ytimg.com.

1- for opera, it reduce the load on its VPN network so VPN will get more speed, bandwidth, and will become more stable,
2- for users, some webpages are safe enoght for the users so they can bypass that websites from VPN and will get better speed on that webpages.

I hope opera team consider this suggestion

If you're on a specific page it's on on that one only.

Would it be possible to add a feature to add sites to bypass the VPN?

I use the VPN feature quite often but we have a local streaming service that is only available in South Africa. Every time I visit the site, I need to disable the VPN.

If I can exclude this site or whitelist it, I won;t need to disable the VPN. Something to look at?

Thanks.
