If reinstalling didn’t change it, check whether Opera’s updater service is actually running correctly. On Windows, look in Services for the Opera scheduled update services and make sure they aren’t disabled. A firewall, antivirus, proxy, or DNS filter can also block the update check while the browser itself still works normally. Since you’re a developer, checking Opera’s updater logs would probably be the most useful next step. If the update service is running but never gets a response, that should narrow it down pretty quickly.

Opera’s built-in VPN only applies to Opera itself, not Chrome or other Windows apps. So it shouldn’t directly affect Chrome. If Facebook is slow afterward, check Chrome’s proxy/DNS settings, extensions, or simply restart the network connection. You could also compare Chrome with Opera while Opera VPN is completely turned off.

This is probably the router self signed/local certificate rather than an actual problem with the router. Opera normally warns when it can’t verify the certificate, which is common with router admin pages. Since Firefox lets you continue, heck whether Opera for Android has changed how it handles that particular certificate in the latest update. As a workaround, try the router’s HTTP address if it supports it, or use Firefox for these local admin pages. If this started immediately after the Opera update, it’s worth reporting as an Opera Android bug.

@lovelywaz it is due to beta, so its mean I have also to move on to the developer mode.

@herman21 i think it may have solved your problem

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to install VPN Pro in Opera on Windows, but I keep getting this message: “Opera VPN Pro service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.”
Not really sure what’s causing it. I’ve already tried reinstalling and restarting, but no luck so far.
Has anyone run into this before or knows what might fix it?
Thanks!

Strange message when trying to install VPN pro
Services 'Opera VPN Pro service' (VPM Pro Service) failed to start. Verify that sufficient privileges to start system services
I have no idea what this means
I've searched the support forum and no sign of this

It is a permissions thing. If you installed Opera without admin rights, the VPN service won’t start properly. Try running Opera (or the installer) as administrator and see if it installs the service again. Sometimes antivirus or Windows security can also block it, so that’s worth checking too.
