[Opera gx] Cannot connect to internet

Every time i try to load a new website, it goes straight to “cannot connect to internet” screen. Other browsers and even apps are connected just fine. What happened and how can i fix it? I was just doing my daily do’s and it just suddenly went into that state :l

Goto the URL opera://settings/vpn and make sure the VPN is disabled. If it is though, you can try enabling it just to test if that allows you to work around the problem. Not a solution though.

With the VPN off though, goto the URL opera://settings/system, enable DNS over HTTPS, restart Opera and test if that makes a difference.

here with the same issue, i tried enabling dns over https and it didn’t do anything

ahh man for some reason its not working

How long did it take for your browser to fix itself

omggwaad thank you man

Amazing answer bro. I dont understand why with VPN is so shit, with vpn i have 200 ping without i have 19

Two years later and this random advise fixed an issue I was having

OMG thank you now i know why my it’s not working

Hello j’ai essayé de faire toutes les étapes indiquées opera gx ne marche toujours pas

DNS over HTTPS fixed it for me. Thanks man, tried everything I saw online and nothing was working. I was losing it.

I can’t go to the URL opera://settings/vpn it just comes a black screen

Iirc, it actually just fixed itself eventually like a couple of hours later :skull:

Strange, but glad you got it.

lmfao 8 months later

If you’re on Windows, make a test standalone installation to a folder named “Opera GX Test” on your desktop and see how things work there. Also, test to see if you have the issue in other browsers too or not.

Okay. If that’s the case, it’s probably an issue with your ISP’s DNS servers. If desired, you can try to fix the issue system-wide instead of just in Opera. See https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/windows/ for how to set your DNS servers to Cloudflare’s. This can be done for Windows for example or you can do it in your router if you know how.

What happens when you just goto the URL opera://settings? Opera GX on what operating system?

Opera works at full capacity when I use my mobile datas but doesn’t work when I’m on the wifi on my internet box

Yeah, I think you’re right. About 30 minutes after my comment my internet went down for a couple of minutes and then it came back up and I’ve had no issues since, even after turning off DNS over HTTPS. It was most definitely my ISP.
