@leocg The Website still told me that I am in Germany and have to use a VPN.

@dragonfirek So you need to be outside of Germany to watch the page content?

@dragonfirek There are ways for a site to know that you are using a VPN and get your real IP address. One of those ways is through WebRTC.
You can try going to settings page and play with WebRTC options to see if it changes anything.

There is also a chance that the site is simply guessing tour location wrongly.

@leocg But the site explicitly told me to use a VPN and gave me the Link to NordVPN.
Also can you explain the thing with WebRTC? Never heard of that before.

@dragonfirek Search for WebRTC in the settings page and change the default option to something else.

@dragonfirek Then the site is guessing your location wrongly. Try using an extension that provides a VPN.

@leocg even with other add-ons, it wont work. Do I have to do any PC settings to use VPN?

Despite claiming to be a VPN, what Opera actually offers is a free proxy; its standalone VPN service was discontinued in early 2018. Proxy servers are poor alternatives to dedicated VPNs ) since they often have slower speeds, less secure encryption, and lackluster unblocking capabilities. I guess you should try a free VPN rather sticking to opera VPN.

Hi, I'm using Opera since version 11. I loved Opera Mail and I miss it a little. I'm from Cuba and I user VPN to access to some services to be able to work. But since several months ago the VPN option stop to work. Does the Opera's VPN servers change in time or are the same? Maybe they can be blocked here? Thanks

@antonkrus There are high chances that the VPN may be being blocked, I guess.
