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

@pettsvaldo VPN is down? ISP is blocking it? Some app is blocking it?

There could be a lot of reasons.

OK. Thanks.

Any advice on how to narrow down the suspects?

@pettsvaldo Try with another ISP. If you have any security app installed, try disabling it.

Yes, it was my bloody ISP (Vodafone) blocking VPNs by default!

All sorted now.

Thanks!
