Re: Opera on mobile

Opera can alter your IP using two tools:

1) the free VPN

2) and Opera Turbo (now part of data savings settings)

Both need to be disabled.

Fix

Only 'Data Saver' needs to be off, as that is the cause of the problem. Presumably from the Amazon CloudFront speedup system. With 'Data Saver' off you don't need the VPN on - in fact, the VPN can't be on with 'Data Saver' on, as they are mutually exclusive.

Meanwhile, some possible good news. I think I may have cracked my separate "Incoming Wi-Fi call" issue (phone won't 'pick up' call). I've changed all my 'Contacts' phone numbers to correct, full International format. We shall see.


🤣

Not then, but later. I eventually - after about three weeks! - learned, as much by luck as judgement, how to (mostly) reliably answer an incoming phone call on an Android based smartphone. Like most things, obvious when you know how. But, so I would maintain, very far from obvious when you don't know. How very different from my old, trusty Nokia 1100.

But I am well on top of it all by now. 🙂
