    VPN Opera problem


    I've used Norway's Opera VPN for ages with no problems, however when I recently tried to watch a particular Norwegian programme it kept saying not available to viewers outside Norway which seems odd despite having tried all the on line suggestions how to resolve it.

    Anyone else had this problem ?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Enable or Disable VPN in Opera

    How to Enable and Use Free Built-in VPN in Opera browser


    Opera is the first and still only major browser that integrates a free, unlimited VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, allowing you to focus on the content that matters without fear of losing privacy.

    Normally, your browser connects directly to websites, allowing websites to identify your IP address and its approximate location. With VPN, you connect to websites via a VPN server. As a result, your apparent location changes to the location of the server.
    When you enable VPN, it starts automatically, and the blue VPN badge

    appears in the combined address and search bar. Click/tap on the badge, and you will see an on/off switch, information about the amount of data transferred, the virtual location, and the the virtual IP address.

    With Operas VPN turned on, your IP address will be replaced with a virtual one, making it harder for websites to track your location and identify your computer. Many tracking cookies will also be blocked.

    From the point-of-view of websites, your browser is now located in the region given by the virtual location. To change your virtual location, select a region from the list. If you do not choose a region, you are automatically assigned an optimal location. To turn off VPN, flip the switch in the badge.

    Because the connection from your browser to the VPN server is encrypted, even if the local network is not, VPN enhances your privacy on the local network. You can hide your browsing activities from other users of that network.

    VPN status in Opera:
