Opera 12.17 no longer works with https for me

I have a solution which is good enough, way better than leaving my beloved old opera to open in another browser. I tried the Kproxy method but kproxy does not work on some sites. I will post this in any relevant thread that has to do with incomparability/security issues.
Reguires installation of neptune: http://www.meadco.com/Neptune/About. I edited my right click menu to run a script so that I am now able to open all the sites with error 40 and even the Chase bank site in Internet Explorer Issues: Normally something about error running script and the url does not display in the address bar, just about blank. And I can't figure out how to bookmark page or use auto login. I got this script from one of the old button creator sites.
Here is the script:
Item, View in IE=Go to page, "javascript:(function(){if(location.protocol.match(/^(javascript|about|opera):$/i))return;var l=location.href;var t=(document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0]?document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].text:l).replace(/</g,'<').replace(/>/g,'>');var w=window.open('','_blank');w.document.documentElement.innerHTML='<head><title>'+t+' - using Internet Explorer rendering</title><style type=\x22text/css\x22>body{margin:0;padding:0;overflow:hidden;}embed{border:none;}</style></head><body><embed type=\x22application/x-meadco-neptune-ax\x22 width=\x22100%%\x22 height=\x22100%%\x22 param-location=\x22'+l+'\x22></embed></body>'})();",,"View in IE",View

Have you tried to enable(disable) OCSPValidateCertificates for certain web-sites via override.ini ?
I did
and it works! Some site stopped working for me last week, throwing an error'Secure connection: critical error (1066)'
and after adding the following line to a dedicated section in override.ini - I can access that site over https again:
SecurityPrefs|OCSP Validate Certificates=0 -

There's no UI to add that. You have to edit the file yourself and append it to the section that exists for the given site (a section for a given site is automatically created when you make any changes at all to site preferences in the UI.
See my post back on May 27th though for the global setting in opera:config. That's all I use.

i know

for the given site... But I want to have this section for ALL sites.

OCSP Validate Certificates: it looks like here, for years -> http://i.imgur.com/SLtUAZB.png

The setting for ALL sites is the one that I mentioned in opera:config. It's unchecked per your screenshot, so you're done. The override.ini is only for individual sites.
Just keep in mind what I mentioned on May 27th. The need to disable OCSP was only a temporary thing early on in this thread. Leaving it disabled creates debilitating performance issues on some sites.

I wonder what happened with the REAL Opera (before 12.17) developers community...
Are they all dead?
Are they all gagged by no disclosure agreements after they signed with evil G00gle?
Will their family be killed if they patch security holes and release Opera 12.18?
I mean... come on... nobody abandoned a very much loved project especially when a corporation stole open source projects just to kill the competition. It's obvious what G00gle did was a takeover because their $hitty Chrome is a joke.I didn't expect such betrayal from former Opera 12 programmers...

Signed with Google? AFAIK Opera just decided to stop developing their own HTML/layout engine and instead switch to one developed by multiple parties. For some reason they also decided to build an entirely new browser around that.
I guess the Opera spirit lives on in Vivaldi:

Since this thread was bumped anyway, all of the above problems were solved with 12.18.

Thanks. How did you find out about it? I'd never think to search for it.
You can get it here:
http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os=windows&ver=12.18&local=y
http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os=windows&list=all(Silly that there's no obvious way to get there using the site navigation. Luckily a search engine finds it.)
No changelog:

Is there any reason to leave TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in their default, disabled, state? What about SSL3?
(No way to edit posts?)

Great news! Thanks, folks! There's still a little life left in The Real (Presto-based) Opera!
Now that I've updated to 12.18, what do you suggest I should do with the security settings?
TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 - disable/enable? OCSP Validate Certificates?

blackbird71 last edited by adminI'd suggest disabling the OCSP validation, at least if it causes excessive CPU usage. See my May 2015 post above for some OCSP details: https://forums.opera.com/post/76110
Only if Opera's CRL lookup process is failing for some reaon or goes unsupported by Opera would one necessarily need to use the alternative OCSP option. Both CRL and OCSP are look-up processes to check if a security certificate on the system or browser has been revoked for some reason (cert hacking or counterfeiting being two such reasons).
