VPN

I recently got the following alert on Malwarebytes, has it happened to anyone else?

It’s because the proxy opera uses is shared proxy IP from Surf Easy, so if people use certain IPs from vpns, anti virus programs will see that as a malice ip. Opera uses this https://www.surfeasy.com/us/en/ for their proxy in the browser. https://blogs.opera.com/news/2015/09/opera-surfeasy-vpn-combo-online-privacy/

They say VPN, but in the browser its really just a Proxy network used by many people. So proxies like this, will end up on the bad list for most anti virus softwares.
