@haba Same thing happened to me. It was the anti-virus software on my computer. Try disabling it and then try VPN again.
There was a problem with MalwareBytes yesterday but that is a malware program not an anti virus program. If it was MalwareBytes causing you a problem just open it and update it several times manually

No it's not just you. You could also try updating to 50.0.2762.67 and see if that helps. Not hopeful though.
Have now got used to being ignored by Opera staff. What a shame as it was a good browser which seemed to be responsive to its users. Badly disappointed as Opera still have not commented and it shakes my confidence in how Opera will continue to have the confidence of its users.
*Well well well !
It's important to be honest.
As I live and breath, I have just installed tonight's update. 14th Jan 2018 at 00:39 GMT/UTC in London, UK, version 50.0.2762.58.
Looks like they've fixed it. About time.
37.31Mbps on a 37Mbps incoming fibre line.
Let's hope they don't put us through that again...*
You must be the lucky one. I am on a 78Mb/s Zen Fibre with d/l of 77.4Mb/s with VPN off and between 0.5 and 3Mb/s with optimum VPN on. Also running same version as you. Definately not fixed.
Opera V50.0.2762.45 just became available. Let's hope it is an improvement. Not tried it yet.

Hey guys everything is explained here: http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2017/12/opera-49-updated-renewed-vpn/
But how long is "soon" and when will there be as much bandwidth as before?
Yes but even more complaints than found here.
I am really disappointed that Opera does not issue updated info about this problem so we are all aware that something is being done about it instead of leaving us in the dark.

@vpnuser3333 All regions mentioned on the blog post are already available.
Maybe, but available does not mean performance is usable.
Given up and purchased a 3 year membership of NordVPN for $99. Works great
Still the same today, worse than useless with max download speed is 1.3Mb/s and frequent disconnections only when using the VPN.
Just tried a download using both VPN regions and max speed is 1.2Mb/s on an 80Mb/s Fibre connection. Turning off the VPN during the download results in 79Mb/s. VPN problem it seems as it was OK yesterday.
Thanks for that tip. I will look into it shortly (Wife just come out of hospital after hip replacement so time is a bit limited.
Thanks for the post which does explain the reason. It is however still a downgrade in terms of performance and choice even if it was a necessary change. Guess I will have to find a paid for VPN which does what I need now. Can't complain as the Opera VPN was free and worked very well except for the last week or so which presumably was due to the change of servers.
More dumbing down it seems. I wonder why they have decided on the downgrade.
Just done the update to V49.0.2725.56. When using the VPN I now find the choice is limited to Americas or Europe whereas it used to have 6 specific countries. Is this a so called upgrade to a degraded option in this new version. Is there any way to restore the previous 6 specific counties
