@luca786toni Yes as I mentioned above I did that. Tried all the options.

For some inexplicable reason I checked again and the IP Address wasn't showing my home city. I guess you can't control where it takes you. It took me to Sweden so everything was in that currency even though I had my home country's currency as the default in Settings. We need a VPN in our own country sometimes. You'd think the speeds would be faster as well if the geographical distance was a lot less.

How many times do we need to be told its full screen? 1000? 100,000? Surely there is a way of stopping this brain damaged notification. Yeah - we can see its full screen because there is no Address or Menu bar there.

And how to display the Address Bar when I want to type something in when in full screen? Surely I don't have to exit every time I want to go to a different site? I realize Opera uses a Chrome foundation and this idiocy comes from Google but surely they can make this work properly.

Or is there any way of making the Menu not appear or make either the Menu or Address Bar a lot smaller? They take up WAY too much vertical space.

@luca786toni Mine has been off. Tried turning it on....exactly the same. I'm trying with a search engine and at the website itself, just in case.

@leocg I do have display settings set to a light gray for the background in Windows 7. But it doesn't look like the page is using that as the background is white. Just like Firefox and Google Chrome. Everything is identical except the log in tables are not there. And I just updated Opera Chrome.

@leocg I was logged into Google on my computer (not using a phone). I logged out, cleared cache/cookies and its exactly the same. The fact that its working for others gives me hope though.

@prsy I always load stuff in the background so I never noticed this. One more thing for Opera to fix. I do wonder how many people are actually working on the browser for Windows. There seems to be a lot of things that don't work. Basic things.

@leocg No. I'm well aware of that problem. I have the default white background set. The page looks identical in Opera Chrome as Google Chrome and Firefox except with Opera Chrome the frame that shows the log in info is not there. It does show the 4 other sign in options. Talk about making yourself look silly. "Here's our new browser. The only problem is it doesn't work on our own website. Other than that its great! Especially if you like your IP address in full view when using the VPN!"

@leocg Sure. How about Google.com? Just type in "what is my ip address" and BAM....there it is. If Google knows it doesn't everyone know it? Its the same address that shows up with Firefox. If I use an extention like KP Proxy it doesn't. I get an IP address in another part of the country. I think that's how its supposed to work. There are tons of people with exactly the same problem.

@prsy What do you mean by "automatically"? Either you open a tab directly where it will open or you open it in the background where it should be ready opened for you later. Though lately I've noticed Chrome browsers offering a very useless blank page for a few seconds when I go to a tab I loaded in the background a few minutes ago. I'd love to fix that problem. Not too much point in loading a tab in the background if it doesn't even load. I am using a slow computer and wonder if its not loading to prevent less of a load to the computer hardware. 2gb of DDR2 ram doesn't go far these days!

Is there any way of getting my IP address not to display for the world to see when using Opera's bizarre VPN? I've read so many posts and tried what they did to no avail. I've installed ScriptSafe, WebRTC Leak Prevent and when their auto test pops up its all blank which I think is good but when I just go to a website that tells me my IP there it is. Isn't the first order of privacy the masking of your IP address? How could they get this wrong? What's the point if this doesn't even work? Its like a browser that can't display websites. Maybe that will be Opera's next surprise.
