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

Without VPN

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

I installed Opera on my windows 11 machine. I got the VPN to connect for one brief moment. Now it tells me "VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is resolving the problem". Any ideas as to why this happens?

Re: Opera Vpn not working

I frequently get this message and it never goes away of its own accord. But I can fix it when it happens and have found a way to reproduce it too.

First, the fix (in windows 10):

• open task manager and look for a task named Opera Crash Reporter:

• End that and all other Opera tasks
• Restart Opera. The VPN now works.

And a method to reproduce the problem on demand:

• install the GIF Blocker extension Version 0.2.1 by raylothian
• visit https://www.giffgaff.com/free-sim-cards
• Observe that some images are blocked:

• Right click on the first circled image and inspect the code.
• However, code inspection shows that they are SVG images not GIFs and therefore should not have been blocked.
• Anyway, the VPN is still working at this time (or at least, the VPN icon is still blue). And the windows tasks list does not show a crash report.
• Now close Opera and restart it.
• Observe that the VPN icon remains orange permanently
• And an Opera crash reporter has appeared in task manager, which never finishes.

Additional information:

• Opera Version Version:99.0.4788.77
• Windows 10 64 bit

Extensions installed:

• Block Site Version 0.4.6 by raylothian
• GIF Blocker Version 0.2.1 by raylothian (configured to block gif and webp)
• Opera Ad Blocker Version 99.0.4788.77
• Opera Wallet Version 1.13 (disabled)
• Text to Voice Version 1.5.0 by ulmdesign (disabled)
