Premium versions are available, with lots more locations and IPs available. You’ll often have to complete annoying captchas when using Google on the Opera and Proton VPNs This is because it’s a shared IP that loads of people use. Google and YouTube searches are often blocked initially, and you have to complete some Captchas to use the service, exactly as often happens with the Opera VPN.Only 3 locations can be limiting to users who want more precise location settings.
Here are the main benefits of the FREE version of ProtonVPN: You just register for the program, download for your device, install and boot up and you are ready to go. If not, sign up for a Protonmail account, and move across to the ProtonVPN site. If you already have a Protonmail account, you can sign into that and register for the free VPN service.
It is totally free to sign up and use the free version, and it does work reliably and in pretty much the same way as the Opera VPN did before it started having problems. I tried it out and so far I’m very impressed! The makers of the very secure Protonmail service in Switzerland have also produced a free VPN service called ProtonVPN. This is my number one alternative free VPN service that I’ve switched over to, since I got tired of Opera continuously running slow over a week, and not being fixed. There are some reliable options, let’s look at a few now. If you’re not getting any luck with any of these options, then you’ll have to do what I did and switch to another free VPN provider. Turn the quality down on videos from YouTube by clicking on the settings cog in the bottom right and adjusting the resolution down.Also make sure your home network isn’t too busy, with lots of users connecting at once, especially with a limited bandwidth package.Move closer to your router, or switch to wired instead. Check it’s not a weak Wi-Fi connection that’s causing slow speeds instead of the VPN.Try again later when the VPN usage may not be so busy.Switch to a location closer to where you are (You’ve got Americas, Europe and Asia to choose from).Disable the VPN altogether (blue toggle button just to the left of the browser bar).Here’s the first things to try within the Opera Browser itself and your home network if you find the VPN connection running slow: Let’s look at the quick fixes we can try, plus the alternative options to get a VPN connection. Failing that, other free VPN’s like ProtonVPN and Tunnelbear can provide a more reliable connection. Try changing the VPN server to a different location or turning off the VPN altogether. Basically, the Opera VPN became unusable for me on any server. I’m based in Europe, so normally the Europe VPN server runs pretty fast – good enough for streaming, whilst the Americas server is also sometimes runs acceptably, even enough for YouTube sometimes, whilst Asia has always been slow because of the distance.īut recently, all three VPN locations are running slow, making video streaming impossible and even general web browsing very slow. The free VPN feature that has been built into the Opera browser has been a great little tool, but lately it has been running very slow. This is a problem I’ve been running into for the last few weeks, so I’ve decided to do a quick troubleshooting guide on it.
