If you have access to the internet and the VPN is not working, proceed as follows. Reconnect, check your internet settings, and try again.If you can’t access the pages, try accessing them on other browsers or devices. Use the Opera browser and open your popular pages without the VPN.

I find it interesting when people go on about needing a 'privacy' browser and then give little thought to how many companies they have given their email address to, stay logged into accounts while browsing, install apps on their phones that suck up almost everything, or configure two-factor authentication with their mobile number which is a supremely identifying piece of data that now sits in one more database waiting to be hacked.These simple tips usually solve most problems: Test your internet connectionĬheck whether you have a working internet connection before using the VPN service. I like Opera GX because it does stuff that I like with fewer extensions, (although other browsers are catching up) it feels fast, and hasn't done me wrong in the privacy department with intrusive adds that interrupt my browsing. For some people that may not be enough for them, then that's okay, they can use another browser.

Any further innuendo that because it has links to a Chinese consortium that therefore it is siphoning your data in other unethical ways is simply unfounded rumour and bias.Ĭarefully going through the Settings and turning off features that you don't want, in my opinion the privacy is better than using Google Chrome. If you don't like what it says, then don't use it. You can read the Opera privacy policy, and it is upfront and transparent with what they do. It looks like I have been labelled as possibly a 'fan' of Opera.
