<![CDATA[NO VPN icon next to my address bar :(]]>I am using Opera running at the version of 60.0.3255.170.
BUT
There is no VPN option (even in settings) next to my address bar.

I tried to follow your guide to check my settings:
I went to Settings.
Clicked Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Features.
It says "Under VPN, turn on Enable VPN."
But there is NO VPN option there 😞

My OS version: Windows 10, 1809

Hope to solve this issue. Thanks!😊

You're just so warm-hearted.

So I thought Opera should make it clearer to us users, like placing some notes under their introduction.

I have also set my region settings in Windows to US or UK and rebooted my device, but it remains.

It's just a fresh, standalone installation of the latest stable Opera that I put on my US English Windows 10 Pro and zipped up. VPN shows up in it. You can see what it does on your system.

Does it show up then? (If it does, it still might not work in China, but you can try.)
