Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Ah. Thank you.
I just went back to try and give you a pic with the "understand" part opened and - drum roll - then problem no longer happens, lol. I guess Opera has 'learned' as is just took me straight into my router homepage.
Thanks for sorting me out with the image thing 
Had checked for that several times over, lol. Even took a snapshot to show you - but can't see how to upload an image from my laptop (wanted a url). But, went back to check one last time - and found the link you speak of. Was just a ghost of very small print that was almost entirely invisible due to me running the blue light filtering software "Iris" (love it). I turned the brightness up a tad and there it was clearly visible. Checked it and it works fine.
So, problem solved thanks to you - and you sticking with it Much appreciated. And I hope the Universe awards (both of) you a substantial handful of good karma points for it
I'm back in love with Opera (sorry Brave).
Onwards and upwards!
Thank you for your reply.
VPN disabled. No, only 2 options and neither allows me to continue to my router. "Back to saftey" and "Help me understand". Very odd. Every other browser I have used in the past has included the option to continue anyway despite the security warning - but not here with Opera. In the end I installed the Brave browser and accessed my router no problem via that. Such a pity as I was really loving the Opera browsing experience up to that point (particularly Speed Dial with an animated background :).
There must be a way though - surely?
Hello. New to Opera. Still getting it set up - and have just found that I can't seem to access my router. Get halted on the "Your connection is not private" error page. The browser typical "Back to safety" option is there - but no way to continue on to the router regardless of the warning. Grrrrrrr! I need access to my router yesterday! Can any kind soul tell me how I can make opera allow me to do this simple thing?
