      Hi,
      I'm using latest Opera 64bit and I was wondering is it possible to use 2 separate private windows, but one with VPN enabled and another VPN disabled.
      As soon as I turn off VPN in one window, it also turns it off in another.
      Thanks

          Ok, and if I use a private window with VPN enabled and also regular Opera window, both for same website.
          Is there a way for owner of the website to know that those 2 connections were made from same PC?
          Also sometimes VPN drops connection for few seconds, 5, 10, doesnt matter, turning blue rectangle to orange, then it connects again.
          What happens during that time, does Opera then connects using my regular PC IP and then reconnects again using VPN IP, or it just hangs until it reconnects with VPN IP again? This is important to know if I dont want to get banned if I have 2 accounts on same website or anything where I dont want owner to know that both connections were made from same PC
          Thanks

            @skiffer097 In theory, yes, sites can know if you are using a VPN and what is your real address.
