I have had to disable vpn fully.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have also noted that even when the site loads, there is a speed penalty when using a bypass rule.  The Oookla speed test site is a good example of this:<br />
<a href="https://www.speedtest.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://www.speedtest.net</a><br />
With the bypass rule I get 4-12Mbps down and 5Mbps up.<br />
VPN disabled I get 75-76Mbps down and 20Mbps up.</p>
<p dir="auto">The first issue is the problem, requiring the VPN to be deactivated means that sites that require it, don't function properly.  Not insurmountable, but not the quality I have come to expect from Opera.</p>
