2023 update

ℹ️ Please note this research is from 2016 when Opera has first added their browser "VPN", even before the "Chinese deal" was closed. They have since introduced some real VPN apps but this below is not about them.

🕵️ Some folks also like to use this article to show a proof that the Opera browser is a spyware or that Opera sells all your data to 3rd parties or something like that. This article here doesn't say anything like that.

When setting up (that's immediately when user enables it in settings) Opera VPN sends few API requests to https://api.surfeasy.com to obtain credentials and proxy IPs, see below, also see The Oprah Proxy.

The browser then talks to a proxy de0.opera-proxy.net (when VPN location is set to Germany), it's IP address can only be resolved from within Opera when VPN is on, it's 185.108.219.42 (or similar, see below). It's an HTTP/S proxy which requires auth.

{tablename}_{columnname(s)}_{suffix}

where the suffix is one of the following:

• pkey for a Primary Key constraint;
• key for a Unique constraint;
• excl for an Exclusion constraint;
• idx for any other kind of index;

##Target

Protecting the privacy of the bittorrent users and protecting them from the monitoring spies making their activity much less visible by changing the way they connect to a torrent and setting a method to establish dynamic blocklists and maintain them.

##Abstract

Previous research has focused mainly on discovering monitors using trackers, this study focuses on tracking and blocking the monitors using the bittorrent peers and content discovery system only (called the DHT).

The global result is that the spies are organized to monitor automatically whatever exists in the bittorrent network, they are easy to find but difficult to follow since they might change their IP addresses and are polluting the DHT.
