@zemv said in VPN Is Not Working Topic:

Whenever I try to turn on VPN it says:
VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is
resolving the problem.

This has been happening for about 2 or 3 months.
I am on the latest Opera stable browser for Windows 10.
I tried OperaGX but it still does the same.

I am using Windows Defender as my anti virus.
I've tried disabling it. Maybe you know of a setting or I'm doing something wrong.

I hope you can help.

Does anyone has any ideas at all???

@zemv Maybe it's being blocked?

@leocg Thank you for your reply.
Do you know how or why it would be blocked?

I was wondering if maybe it had something to do with an update for Windows Defender, or Windows 10 operating system.
I was hoping that maybe I'd just have to tick a box or something (I'm not very technical).

Do you have any suggestions?

@zemv VPN is blocked on some places, I was just wondering if that could be the case.

Re: VPN Is Not Working Topic

Well, well, well this might not be the solution to your problems but here's what I found:

(I'm currently using Opera 85.x.x.x.x) the first time I installed the browser, my Windows System was recently installed as well and unconfigured, my Regional Settings and TimeZone were configured by default for Europe, specifically for Spain. That first time I used Opera, the VPN worked great! Then I started to configure the time settings and all were screwed up. I wouldn't touch the timezone settings, but the WhatsApp web app required me to have my system configured aligned with the global time settings for my region (the Caribbean) otherwise messages won't be sent.
The bad news is I couldn't manage myself to revert the changes, and now the VPN isn't working anymore, but hey, at least is a shade of light.

Before changing the settings, everything was going well

now one activates the VPN, and as you can see, it doesn't even allow changing the VPN location

Hi all, my opera vpn keeps stopping working. I have got it working again on the odd occasion with the help of the developer support via google play, but it has stopped again with the message "currently unavailable", and the only location to select is Europe. When it stops like this it stops on both my android app and my desktop. Currently using desktop because I uninstalled the Opera app for this very reason.
I don't know why it keeps falling over like this but it is very annoying having it not working when you want to use it.

Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? Thanks

After having problems with Opera for the past 2 days, I have uninstalled it and reloaded a new copy X2. I got the new version to work after turning off the VPN in settings. Why is the VPN feature not working? reesche

Until recently, both my workstation PC at the office and my laptop connected to Opera VPN just fine. Suddenly, the VPN service on my laptop stopped connecting with error message "VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is resolving the problem.".

Both machines run the latest Opera Developer builds, the problem persist if both are connected to the same network. I tried resetting all Opera settings, even uninstalled and re-installed opera (clean installation), so it has to be something outside the scope of the opera installation.

The only two differences, wich could in my opinion affect the VPN service, are OS versions (windows 11 insider preview on laptop, Windows 10 on workstation) and 3rd party VPN apps on the laptop (Nord VPN and GlobalProtect). Opera VPN doesn't connect regardless of the other VPNs connection status. It used to work in this exact configuration several weeks ago.

Does anyone have the same issues - and more importantly, a solution?

Best regards

For the past few weeks I have had problems with pages loading when the VPN is turned on on my opera browser.

I get the error code "ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED"

Windows 7

Opera version 86.0.4363.32

Everything works fine when it is off but when VPN is on it takes 2-3 refreshes for the page to load.
