Installed it.
I don't have to login to our forum, logged in already...Is it because it's using the cookies from IE?
Cannot log out.
OK...
Testing the VPN.
US is fine.
What about Canada?
Disaster struck:
"Opera recovered from a crash"
"Opera recovered from a crash"
"Opera recovered from a crash"
...

It would more likely be using cookies in Opera. I haven't installed it to check though.

Try deleting the cookies in opera and test it again.

Maybe using them from the older stable version?

Anyway, restarting the PC did not help, had to remove this version.
Installed again.
It's working now I can log in-out.

VPN: US IP working, but terribly slow.
Not going to touch Canada again.

It started its game again:
"Opera has recovered from a crash"
"Opera has recovered from a crash"
"Opera has recovered from a crash"
...
...
Hopeless.

Visit ipleak.net with Opera's VPN enabled and it will list a foreign IP address instead of your own, but scroll down to WebRTC detection and you'll see your true IP address staring back at you. Other WebRTC test sites confirm the flaw.

Installing the Opera WebRTC Leak Prevent plugin fails to resolve the issue unless you dip into the plugin's advanced settings to change its defaults to prevent WebRTC from using non-proxied UDP and disable the non-proxied UDP by force – not the kind of thing your average user is likely to pick up on but something Opera should enable by default if it really wants the VPN to be secure.

A fully-fledged VPN service shouldn't fall for this WebRTC trick, although keep in mind this is only a developer preview and the flaw might be addressed before it reaches the mainstream Opera release. For now Opera's one-click VPN is certainly useful for bypassing online roadblocks, but don't put your life in its hands.

Installed the new version last night, With VPN on it did not work at all.
This morning it started to work, seems they fixed the server.

It's not crashing now.
Can choose from four location:
Canada
Germany
Netherlands
United States

Using ipleak.net it gives the result:
185.80.220.42 United Kingdom
74.125.18.23 Netherlands
