Well I'll tag in. I'm in Houston and having the same issue showing not available to use aria.

Would really be nice if anyone acknowledged that this was even a known bug.

@norwaytoss while my tests are by no means absolute or exact. Testing from a Mac and a home/business Internet connection would not remove the possibility of the IP being disallow or otherwise not allowed.

To confirm this, if you have a cellphone provider other than at&t, connect your MacBook to your phone's hotspot, and still can't use aria, then that would be another instance of my theory not working. Or if you use you Mac book with another(other than opera vpn) VPN provider to a supported region.

At this point, we really just need someone at opera to take a look at this. They will have the insight needed to really pinpoint the issue.

@saphir it's not usually a one carrier over another. Rather the IP addresses they use.

Arin assigns IP ranges to ISPs such as at&t, Comcast, Verizon etc. If the opera team don't know, or haven't allowed the at&t ip ranges, then it won't work. This is functionally the best way to disallow the countries they need to deny. Effectively making at&t a disallowed "country".

The only outlyer is my ipad working with opera VPN, and my android not working with opera VPN.

@saphir I just tested on my android device and was unable to use aria both on WiFi(at&t fiber), as well as on mobile network (at&t). Both with and without opera VPN enabled.

I just performed the same test on an iPad the same way, both tests WiFi and cellular, failed. But with opera VPN enabled both succeeded.

This seems like perhaps a allow/disallow list for ip ranges per allocation. At&t IPs may not be allowed. (A prominent provider in texas for anyone reading)

This is inconsistent with my android device using opera VPN.

One last test I used another VPN provider on my android phone, aria worked. (USA exit point)

@saphir in that case, perhaps this is only resolved on iPad os devices? I would assume all iOS platforms but we would need at least one example of it working on an iPhone or Mac.

@aeroboy10 I should add that my iPad using the same opera account, can use aria.

So this seems to be related to an android issue.

Well I'll tag in. I'm in Houston and having the same issue showing not available to use aria.
