I hate censorship! says
I assume the problem is caused by some kind of primitive censorship and monitoring software, like Fortiguard. Till yesterday it worked with an older version of Opera, but today Opera itself blocked the VPN usage of older Opera versions (“You need to ugrade to use VPN…”) – and the new version only uses three different IP addresses for VPN which are obviously all blocked by Fortiguard.

Please try to use a proxy like webproxy.to to bypass the block by Fortiguard. Thanks

webproxy.to will of course also be blocked by the censorship software!
