Avast blocks Opera VPN

[REDACTED]

Hi
I just downloaded Avast two days ago. Today I tried to browse using my Opera VPN and it failed.
I have seen that others had the same problem recently but I can't see the solution. Of course I can disable Avast for some time but that is not really the point of having an antivirus programme is it?


Version:   45.0.2552.812 (PGO) - Opera er opdateret
Opdateringsstrøm:   Stable
System:   Windows 10 64-bit

Avast 17.4.2294

No problem here with the latest versions of Avast Free and Opera Developer.

Maybe this will help :
In Clear Browsing Data check Third party services data and clear everything since the beginning of time.
This fixed my problem when VPN didn't work.

Not a single problem with the stable version either.

mesterjake,
did you remove any pre(vious) installed av before installing avast ?

@abruptum

Hmmm ... that doesn't seem to help. I now deleted all cookies and checked the box with  third party data. Still the same problem.

@Eddy

Avast asked for permisson to delete Panda av so I guess everything is deleted.
Though I still have a Panda Cloud Cleaner. Do yuo think that will have any influence?

[Eddy]

Make sure everything from Panda is gone.

Thx, Eddy.
Now I have used the Panda Uninstaller and Panda Cloud Cleaner Uninstaller. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. VPN is still not working

In Avast go to
Settings > General > Exclusions > URLs and add https://api.surfeasy.com*

This will allow the Opera in-browser vpn to initialize.

No problem here with Opera's VPN. No exclusions needed.

Thank you so much.  Adding the exclusion seems to have fixed the VPN problem here!!!!

[Eddy]

What exact avast version do you have ?

After installing the latest beta of Avast free, I've also had problems with Opera's free VPN.
The exclusion:
Settings > General > Exclusions > URLs and add https://api.surfeasy.com*
Does solve the problem.
