I wanted to log into my UK lottery account and thought the new VPN option in Opera would apply this but the lottery site knows I'm abroad and won't allow this. Any ideas?

You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

Turn off the VPN option when you go on the Lotto site.0

I use CyberGhost and it lets you choose the virtual location. It also has a streaming mode to give access to the BBC TV iPlayer (and a few other TV/streaming channels) when overseas.0

you can choose your location in the Opera vpn, but I can't remember if UK is one of the locations listed.... from memory there are only half a dozen locations to choose from......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
You can use the VPN built in to Opera to choose different locations to get streams to work, but perhaps it just isn't good enough to work with the UK lottery website? I'd imagine its pretty strict on it being UK only, maybe the kind of thing you'll need a paid VPN to get it to work, if at all?0

Maybe try using Epic Privacy Browser - you can set your 'location' as UK, USA amongst others
