Can't seem to get the back and forward buttons of my mouse to work with Opera. The same buttons work with Safari, Firefox and even Finder. Any ideas?

Many thanks

VPN not connecting for me either

I noticed the latest beta update has not fixed this...does anyone know if this is fixed in the stable version?

@mgeffro Thank you, I understand

@m4ssacre Programming application specific worked for me...Vielen Danke. As for the German pictures, das macht nichts.

@dubhead I already did...see my reply to m4ssacre

Has anyone had issues playing video content.

With the exception of Youtube, most websites report an error of being unable to play the video, e.g. see screenshot showing website https://archive.org/details/Stingray.Complete/Stingray.01.+STINGRAY.avi.

I have confirmed this issue occurs in 62.0.3331.99. I have tried to play the content with and without the VPN enabled. The same errors occur in the Beta version 64.0.3388.0.

I’ve also tried installing extensions media player and media plus to test if there was a codec issue but neither extension helps.

@sgunhouse The post is 6 months old, and whilst I agree that my logitech trackball is working fine, I paid a premium for MX Master and MX Master 2 devices and I would rather use them than my trackball.

I've been on Catalina for months...I will investigate again and get back...glad it's working for you too

@albertchong I stand corrected everyone. This does indeed work. Thanks leononeill.

@reekjohns said in VPN active throws "internet disconnected" error:

This error basically means that your browser is unable to establish internet connection to the host. The primary reason for getting this error is because your computer itself is not connected to the internet. This particular error message err_internet_disconnected belongs to Google Chrome and there are various reasons leading to this error, includes computer issue, or web server issue or Network setting , Internet connections, etc. It doesn't matter, you can take the appropriate solution to fix it. The following article can gives you some specific advice to solve this issue.

• Try a different web browser

Having worked in IT/Telecoms for 30 years, I fully appreciate the meaning of the message. Notwithstanding your excellent summary of the situation, I should stress. That my computer is permanently connected to the internet both wired and wirelessly. And each time I receive the error message, I have been able to receive email, I have been able to surf without restriction using other browsers (specifically safari, firefox and chrome). The status in my system preferences indicate the connection is healthy, My router actitivity log shows no loss of service. I do not use an Antivirus or Firewall. This error only occurs when using the VPN feature in Opera (and usually after Opera has been active - background or foreground for about 10 minutes)
