Opera VPN Not Working Problem Solution

With the proliferation of Opera GX users recently, many users encounter various problems and receive access restrictions. In this article, we will try to solve the problem that Opera GX users encounter when running the VPN extension.

Why Is Opera VPN Not Working?

There are various proxies in the VPN plugin you are using. The fact that these various proxies are closed on the server may cause them to not work in the plugin.

One of the Opera add-ons you use as an extra may be triggering the Opera VPN add-on. For this, we need to check the add-ons you added as extra.

The cache problem in the Opera browser can cause such problems. For this, we can reach the solution of the problem by clearing the browser cache.
