1. Turn of Opera #VPN and exit from the browser. Then, launch the browser again and toggle on the VPN. You can toggle it by clicking the VPN button in the URL bar.
2. Change server location
Changing the server location is another tried and tested method that often fixes problems with Opera VPN. It’s possible that the server you are trying to connect to is offline due to technical difficulties or for maintenance purposes.
Opera VPN offers server locations in Asia, Europe, an Americas. Change to a different location and try using the web to see if works now.
3. Disable extensions
If you have multiple Opera extensions installed, switching these off can sometimes get the VPN working again. Here’s how to shut down extensions in Opera:
Press Ctrl+Shift+E to open Extension settings.
Disable all extensions and try using the VPN again.
4. Remove Browser cache
The browser cache can sometimes become problematic and interfere with the VPN connection. Follow the steps below to remove your Opera browser cache:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Del and check the Cached images and files, Cookies and other site data, and Browsing history boxes.
Click the drop-down menu above the options and select All Time.
Now click on Clear data.
Restart the browser and try using Opera VPN again.
If you still can’t use the VPN, then do the following:
In the same “Clear browsing data” window as shown above, click on the Advanced tab.
Check “Hosted app data” and “Site settings” > Click clear data
Try restarting Opera and use the VPN again. If all goes well, it should work this time.
5. Resolve security software conflict
If you have antimalware and/or firewall programs installed, they can often block your VPN connection. To check if this isn’t the issue, temporarily turn off your security programs including firewalls and antimalware. Then try using Opera VPN again.
6. Update Opera
It is important to keep your browser updated to ensure smooth functioning of the app.
To update Opera, follow the steps below:
Click the menu button > About Opera.
The update window will then open and the browser will automatically check for available updates.
Click “Relaunch now” once the download has finished to start using the new and updates Opera version.
This method has worked for some users as reported on #reddit
