<![CDATA[[Solved]"VPN is connecting" but it doesn't!]]>Hi

I'm in the UK, using a Mi Mix 2 with Android 9.

When I use Opera for Android (v54.2) and try to activate the VPN, it never connects.

It simply says "VPN is connecting" and, after some time, asked me if I want to disable VPN in order to access the URL.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Thanks

All sorted now.

Thanks!

Any advice on how to narrow down the suspects?

There could be a lot of reasons.
