<![CDATA[Cannot log into website "This page is restricted".]]>I started to have this problem today, for the first time. I'm trying to log into my vpn (not from Opera) which I've been able to log into many many times before on Opera. But today, after Opera auto filled the login information, I saw this message on top "This page is restricted." I have seen this before but I'm clueless as to why this is happening, let alone where to go and how to fix it.

I am completely lost on this and I need some help finding and fixing this.

Here's what I have:

url: https://my.ibvpn.com/clientarea.php (autofilled, login / password are correct because I was able to log in using same login/password using Safari.)

I do Not have your vpn turned on.

I do Not have your ad blocker turned on.

I use Ghostery, and the site is marked as a "Trusted" site.

I have scowered every setting in Opera looking for anything "ibvpn" but have found nothing.

I am really at Whitts end! Is there any "utility" or a command (about : <something>) that would show me everything configured in text form (similar to FireFox's about:config) that I could use to search for the domain so maybe I could get a clue where the setting might be found?

Can some nice soul please please help me. Please Mr./Ms. Wizard?

I'm not too proud to beg!

(take two) all these ads are driving me crazy. But being able to log into places that I couldn't do yesterday, is a good sign.

Once I've tried everything, I'll let you know. There is lots to test and a full plate on top of that, so please be patient with me... but I'll be back.

Thank you again for all your help.

I did have it enabled, as per your instructions, but disabled it to see the difference.

None the less, I just did a clean install of Opera Beta and am typing this is an Opera window, after having logged in using the cleanly (re)installed version.

I want to thank you again and again for coming to my rescue and for all you've done for me. I truly appreciate your effort and energy!

Maybe, now I can get back to the race...

One clarification you could help me with:

I'm reading about a "clean install". Part of the instructions say to "delete your Opera profile data".

I just want to make sure that I understand correctly... the profile data is everything in all the subdirectories and on and on that are below the directory labeled as "Profile" on the About Opera page. That "tree" is huge and I have backed it up, but better safe than sorry.

Thank you again and again for all your help.

This is what I am seeing:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.80 Safari/537.36

But I think that is the same thing as what I saw before. But, I had expected to see something about Chromium.

In either case, the response is that I still have all that wacky behavior going on.

I'm getting prodded to download Opera, even though I'm currently, as though the Opera extension store is not recognizing the browser, AND there is no Install button. What do I do now?

What I am missing now is where to change it, how to change it and what should I try to change it to, in order to get some meaningful results for this experiment?

Hopefully, you have some suggestions for me....

You can use an extension to change Opera's user agent.
And maybe on Opera 62 you have a flag to enable Chromium user agent.

I'll tell you everything you want to know once I know what I'm looking for and where to find it.

So, first off, I have no idea what a user agent is. I don't know where to look to find it, and I have no idea where I can get a different one to try.

So, can you give me a url or two so that I can do some homework for you, please. You caught me flat-footed with your question.
