<p dir="auto">Long-time Opera user here from Multan, Pakistan—been hooked since the early days for its speed and built-in goodies like the free VPN. Lately, though, I've noticed some quirks with the VPN that make me wish for a couple of tweaks. Hoping to spark some discussion: what do you think of adding a kill switch and per-site toggles? I'd love advice on workarounds too if these exist.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The Issue:</strong> The VPN is fantastic for quick privacy boosts, especially on public WiFi, but it lacks a true kill switch—if it drops unexpectedly, my traffic leaks unencrypted. Also, I don't always need it site-wide; sometimes it's just for banking or streaming, not everything. Manually toggling it on/off is clunky, and extensions feel like a band-aid.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>My Suggestion/Idea:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Kill Switch:</strong> A simple on/off in VPN settings that blocks all internet if the VPN disconnects. Make it optional with a quick confirm prompt to avoid lockouts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Per-Site Toggle:</strong> Like uBlock's site rules—enable VPN only for specific domains. Bonus if it remembers rules across sessions.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This would level up Opera's privacy game without bloating the browser, keeping it lightweight. It'd be a game-changer for folks in regions with spotty connections like mine.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyone using third-party extensions for this (like VPN managers)? Do they play nice with Opera's native one? Have you requested similar features before, or found hacks? Upvote/share if this resonates, or tell me why it's a bad idea—curious for your takes!</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers, and keep Opera rocking!</p>
