It's probably the servers. Last time it lasted several weeks to fix it. Seems some idiot changed something in newest version of Opera and it does not work with server updates. Or, servers are just down, cos some maintenance person is sleeping.

Internet connection with Opera works with out VPN but not VPN switched on! This started to between days 17-18.5.2017 - Gives this announcement: "Authentication credentials required." or just keeps trying to connect. VPN icon is blue and it's not connecting. Everything with my computer and with my internet connection is working just fine, just not Opera VPN.

My suggestion is: Keep Opera VPN working if you are offering it. It is only reason why I'm using Opera and I believe, so it is with most of the other users.

This is not the first time! It seems, the problem is at the servers.

OK, thank you!

leocg, thank you for the answer! I'm still waiting actual explanation, because I do understand the difference between those channels.

My guess is, why working developer version --> and I mean VPN part of the browser, is not working after next update! Guess is --> different people write same code and do not communicate what they do. That is probably the reason.

And, want to point out again, I'm talking about VPN part of the browser, it is constantly broken all over again in every second version of the browser. Leave the working code alone, thank you!

ps. otherwise coders are writing never ending story, those changes of icon looks are really not important and sadly only changes that work

Hi! l33t4opera, can you inform situation with Opera developer 41.0.2329.0 for Linux and how is fixing of VPN going on. VPN seems to try connect and gives IP for different countries, but it can't make connection to the site I'm trying to connect and after some time gives "Unauthorized access."

It would be nice if somebody could also explain how working part of Opera Dev is constantly broken all over again. What is the point of publishing even test version if it's not working at all.

Answer and some kind of an timetable would be nice, thank you for your efforts!
