Hi everyone. Total newbie here but a very enthusiastic one!
I use the free VPN service within Opera. What are the settings (if any)for Bitcomet to unable me to download torrents anonymously.
If VPN connected, all BitComet downloading will be anonymously via VPN server. No additional proxy settings are needed.
Opera build in browser VPN ?
The Opera VPN will only work, surprisingly enough, in Opera. To the best of my knowledge, it can’t work in an external app
Opera mobile VPN is defunct . Opera AG is said was sold to chines .
There can be 2 problems , 1is : to get access to torrent sites - need a VPN to bypass , 2nd : blocked tracker announcers - need a proxy
I’ve found a rather strange proxy behavior.
Every time I restart BitComet, I'm unable to download torrents, it can sit idle for hours, retrying without a success, until I edit my proxy settings.
Just changing them back and forth immediately spring the program to life.
The proxy I'm using is SOCKS5 (fully socks5h compatible).
BitComet settings are
Proxy type: Socks5
Proxy server: domain name of the proxy server
Proxy port: 1080
Adding or removing "socks=" prefix to the server name does not change the behavior.
Is the VPN from opera working well?
Opera is one of the few browsers that has a built-in VPN. Of course, this VPN has a lot of limitations, but it performs its function. A huge disadvantage is that this VPN only works inside the browser search.

I used to use VPN on my phone to hide my real location. But now I use [<link deleted>](https://soax.com/mobile-proxies) and I can confidently say that proxies work much better than VPN. Proxies are faster and guarantee a more stable connection. Surfing speed is very important to me.
Actually Firefox has a selection of add-on VPNs which will work in BitComet
