      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.

                Twelve hours "down" is twelve too many. Forty-eight is corporate antisocial behavior.

                  I found that I can't connect to the VPN of Opera, and also I found that there are some posts in Opera's fourm ( Chinese section ) that it said the VPN can't be connected since June this year. Can I ask whether this only occours in China or all over the world?

                    @aaa-aaa It's known that Opera servers are blocked in some regions, not sure if China is one of them.

                      Hey, Opera Team. I hope you guys are doing well. Listen so i was doing my work randomly and recived an update which as usual i finished and restarted Opera as suggested. However after the restart i found this weird bug where the Opera's own vpn with 3 respective servers wasnt working at all, where as the local vpns (Browsec and avira) i have are working fine. I turned it ON and waited 15 mins for it to connect but it didn't, can you guys please look into it ? Thanks in adv

                          I have seen various posts Chrome VPN not connecting and followed various suggestions. Have now reinstalled everything and rebooted and while it says VPN PRO is available on this computer I cannot get it to connect. Any suggestions please?

                              hi I read where there's a problem with the vpn. Its been a few days, wondering when it will be coming back? Will you be adding new IP addresses? Many times I get "your IP is on a spam list" and the website is blocked.

                              secondly, is there anyway to add a default search engine besides the ones on the menu?

                                Opera 90.0.4480.54 does not connect to any VPN servers.
                                It stays at "connecting". If you downgrade Opera to v. 89, it works as expected, but since you can't disable automatic installation of the newest version it works until restarted. I checked both normal and incognito modes.

                                  Since yesterday getting this message on Opera sans any ETA.

                                  Appreciate if some one could help with a solution.

                                      For a few days now I can only access certain websites on Opera using my real IP or other VPN services. Whenever I try to connect to them through opera VPN they fail. One such examples are these:-

                                      With VPN
                                      Screenshot (101).png

                                      Without VPN
                                      Screenshot (103).png

                                      This issue also occured with instagram yesterday. However Instagram seems to be fine today. Hope someone can shed some light on this concerning issue!

                                          @beacon07 No, Like I said in my original post I can access it through other VPN's.
