@zubanda860 For issues with VPN Pro, go to https://operavpnpro.freshdesk.com/support/home

Thank you for the link, but I would like to keep this thread open for the community to see and discuss.

This isn't an individual technical support issue or a glitch that can be solved via a Freshdesk ticket—it is a missing product feature and a gap in cross-platform support. As a paying Opera VPN Pro subscriber, I am currently unable to utilize the service I pay for on Linux because there is no native client or manual configuration provided (such as OpenVPN or WireGuard profiles).

As a software developer with 5+ years of professional experience, I know that building or adapting a client application for Linux—or at least providing configuration files for network managers—is entirely achievable. In fact, I am so invested in seeing this feature implemented that I am willing to work with or for Opera for free to develop and ship a Linux VPN Pro client/support myself.

Opening a private support ticket will not bring visibility to this issue. The Linux user community deserves transparency on whether Opera plans to support system-wide VPN Pro functionality on Linux.

I strongly encourage other Linux users who are paying for VPN Pro (or who want to) to chime in here so the product team can gauge the actual community demand.

Best regards,

Hi Opera Team,

I have been a paying Opera VPN Pro subscriber like 3 or 4 years, but I recently realized that there is no native client or system-wide VPN support available for Linux users.

While the free browser proxy works within Opera, paying for a premium subscription that I cannot utilize across my Linux system feels like a missed opportunity. Many developers and daily users rely on Linux, and having system-wide protection is a core reason we choose to pay for a VPN Pro plan in the first place.

Are there any plans to release a dedicated Opera VPN Pro client for Linux, or at least provide OpenVPN / WireGuard configuration files so we can set up the connection manually on Linux devices?

I really enjoy using Opera and would love to fully utilize the VPN Pro service I am paying for without having to switch to a different provider for my Linux workflow.

On a side note: if you hire me, I can happily build the Linux VPN Pro client for you! Alternatively, please have your current team get on it—I'm sure with tools like Claude or modern dev workflows, bringing this feature to Linux shouldn't take much time at all.

Looking forward to hearing your updates on this.

Best regards,

Lately, many users have been reporting that Opera VPN PRO keeps crashing — either the browser freezes, the VPN disconnects suddenly, or Opera completely shuts down when the VPN is enabled. It seems to happen randomly, but more often after recent updates.

Has anyone figured out why this keeps happening?
What should we do or avoid doing to stop the crashes?
For example, should we disable certain extensions, clear cache, or avoid using specific servers?

Please share your experiences, device details, and any solutions that worked for you. Let’s try to figure this out together!
