I installed Opera with the official .DEB file.
When I activate the VPN from the system dock icon I am able to surf the internet with Firefox but I cannot with Opera.
The error is ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
When the VPN is off I can surf the internet with both of them.
Firefox is configured to automatically detect proxy settings but in Opera I can't find a similar setting.
Tips?

man chromium

--proxy-server=host:port

Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests.  This overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the  options dialog. An  individual  proxy server is specified using the format:

[<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]

Where <proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server, and is one of:

"http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".

If  the  <proxy-scheme>  is  omitted,  it  defaults to "http". Also note that "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".

Examples:

--proxy-server="foopy:99"

Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.

--proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"

Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.

--proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"

Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.

--proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"

Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.

It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for different URL types, by  prefixing the proxy server specifier with a URL specifier:

Example:

--proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"

Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80". And load http://*URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".

--no-proxy-server

Disables  the  proxy server.  Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.

--proxy-auto-detect

Autodetect proxy configuration. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.

--proxy-pac-url=URL

Specify proxy autoconfiguration URL. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.

ENVIRONMENT

Chromium obeys the following environment variables:

all_proxy

Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy

http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy

The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.  Note: because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these variables in some terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference  for actual system proxy settings) when running under Gnome or KDE.  Use the command-line flags to set these when you want to force their values.

auto_proxy

Specify proxy autoconfiguration.  Defined and empty autodetects; otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL.  But see above note about Gnome/KDE.

SOCKS_SERVER

SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also set SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5).

no_proxy

Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.

@fonm I do not understand. I have activated the VPN at the operating system level. With Firefox I can navigate safely. In Opera do I have to manually set the proxy to be able to navigate? It seems absurd to me. In any case which proxy should I enter?

@fonm After some tests I found the solution.

opera --proxy-auto-detect

Thanks a lot!
