How do I fix Opera One VPN is temporarily unavailable?

1. Toggle VPN Off/On

Some Opera users have stated that they’ve got the browser’s VPN working by toggling it off and then back on again.

If you want to stop worrying about the VPN, you can permanently abandon Opera’s VPN and opt for a full-featured third-party VPN service.

2. Clear Opera One’s cache

3. Disable Opera One Extensions

Opera One extensions might undermine the VPN connection. To ensure that isn’t the case, turn off all the extensions. You can turn them back on individually to ascertain which one is triggering the error.

4. Add Opera One to antivirus utilities’ exceptions lists

Instead of switching antivirus software off before opening Opera One, add the Opera VPN to your antivirus utility’s exceptions list.

Most antivirus packages include exception (or exclusions) lists that you can add software and URLs to exclude them from the antivirus shields.

How you add the Opera One VPN to alternative antivirus utilities’ exception lists varies, but in some cases, you can find Exclusions tabs on their settings pages.

5. Switch off your antivirus software

This process will differ for third-party antivirus software. And when you get the error messageVPN is temporarily unavailable,Opera One is resolving the problem compatibility issues, especially with third-party antivirus, which may be the cause.
