Preventing Opera browser VPN
A fight against open-access I'm afraid.
Opera Software have published their latest browser boasting built in free VPN giving access past firewalls of countries, companies, education establishments etc.
Free VPN | Now built into Opera browser
As one on the other side of the fence trying to curb access because of users clobbering our public network connection and viewing 'inappropriate content', (i.e. site not work related, but in work and getting paid) including gambling, shopping, online auctions, games, social media, webmail, streaming services and the most popular sites, how can we lock it down? I know that there are tools such as Websense that try to keep up with published VPNs, but we haven't got that installed.
Is there a way to prevent it being enabled on the browser? I've seen before that Internet Explorer can have it's options fixed/greyed out according to company standard.
Obviously there are some business needs to have https access (which I think most VPN options use) to certain sites, but the list is vast.
Personally I'd prefer us not to install software we cannot control, but that seems too draconian, even for me. Installations may be on Windows, MAC, or Unix desktops.
Your suggestions would be much appreciated. I doubt that Opera Software will really want to share this.
Kind regards,
Robin

::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInliUserpContributed Perl DocumCGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline(3pm) NAME
CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline - Inlined GD Graph output for CAP:DBIProfile. SYNOPSIS
# in httpd.conf SetVar CAP_DBIPROFILE_GRAPHMODULE CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline PerlSetVar CAP_DBIPROFILE_GRAPHMODULE CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline DESCRIPTION
This module provides a GD::Graph::bars inlined graphing option for CAP:DBIProfile. Please note, inlined images are NOT supported by MSIE as of version 7. Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Konqueror are supported. The following settings control the output: $CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline::FORMAT Output format. Defaults to "png". One of "png", "gif", or "jpeg". Any GD supported output format can be easily added. $CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline::WIDTH Width of output image. If you have problems with browser support for large inline images, reduce this. $CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIProfile::Graph::GDGraphInline::HEIGHT Height of output image. If you have problems with browser support for large inline images, reduce this. BUGS
Microsoft Internet Explorer, as of versions 6 and 7, lacks support for the "data: URI scheme", and thus lacks support for inline images. Inline images max size is limited to the browsers max URI length. For example, on Opera, this used to be 4kb. If you hit this limit, you can change the size of the output to try to compensate.
