      @celeritasworld can't connect either but fortunately opera keeps the user informed of any issues.

          @leocg I've downloaded the versions listed, NONE of them work or resolve the VPN is connecting issue, so if you can direct me to this miracle solution I would be very grateful.

            I have been having the same problem, happening on multiple devices on different ISPs. I am in the UK and I wondered if Opera's VPN is being blocked?

                  Make sure you have one of those builds installed as they were released to fix the VPN issue.

                      I updated with the menu option - didn't fix the problem.
                      I updated by downloading "Opera Stable for Windows" using the link you provided - didn't fix the problem.
                      VPN was working fine before two days ago.
                      As you can see, I'm up to date.

                      So far, just today alone (a full day after updating), it hasn't cut out or denied access, but that wasn't the case yesterday by any means. So I am guessing there are still a number of glitches somewhere causing it to cut out. Will continue to update everyone with my personal experience.

                        As you'll see from my snapshot - I'm well stuck, with zero Opera VPN. I'm in UK.

                          @winston1984smith OK; problem solved, by stringing together these announcements from various places:

                          "Opera 58.0.3135.132 and 60.0.3255.59 Stable update 
                          (https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/04/opera-58-0-3135-132-and-60-0-3255-59- 
                          stable-update/)
                          Grzegorz Miazga Apr 21, 2019 (20) (https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/04/opera-58-0- 
                          

                          3135-132-and-60-0-3255-59-stable-update/#disqus_thread)
                          Hi,
                          Today we have a small update containing a new HTTP certificate pin for our VPN service. The
                          update pin is available in builds 58.0.3135.132 and 60.0.3255.59."
                          ..............
                          "Download the latest version from https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/04/opera-58-0- 3135-132-and-60-0-3255-59-stable-update/"
                          ............
                          "3255.59 is the version with the fix."

                          And that worked; now VPN is back on 4/21/2019 (after wasting a lot of my time...) Why not put this at the top of the Forum page, to get everyone's attention?

                          Also; how to change the VPN location? L-click on the blue/orange [VPN] button at the top lefthand corner of the window. If VPN isn't working with the current choice, pick another -- that's what I had to do.

                              @winston1984smith As many in the thread have pointed out (myself included initially), the stable version doesn't work for everyone.
                              In fact, this evening is the first full hour so far where I haven't had any issues, and that came 24 hours after I updated the browser twice, both times to the latest version you, and a moderator, stated.

                              My only guess is that it's taking time for the certificates to fully update, depending on location of the host browser (end-user).

                                It's been about four days now. I'm no whiz at this stuff, but I'm looking for some advice.
                                I've tried resetting, rebooting, switching things on and off, all of the basic tricks.

                                  @zellyd Update first (assuming you haven't already): https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/04/opera-58-0-

                                  I had to update mine twice, before it became stable enough to use. It's still a little slow on some sites for me, though, and other sites refuse to connect at all.

                                    I am running Opera 60.0.3255.36 on Win 10. When Opera's VPN is on, it will not connect to the internet - when I turn the VPN off, it is fine. I have the same problem with Tor browser, which also uses a proxy server - no internet via Tor. Other browsers (Firefox and Vivaldi) which do not run via proxy, are ok. Is the problem with the affected browsers, or with my ISP - Comcast?

                                      @jfh I've been having the exact same problem. The VPN just went out on me on Saturday and remained out. I couldn't figure out why. I tried everything to fix it. I began to think that my ISP blocked it, but I downloaded Opera on my iMac and it worked there. I can't think of why it doesn't work on my main Windows notebook.
