Is it possible to have opera not ask if I would like to allow it access a low level internet connection every time I use it? Not a huge deal since I leave it running in the background half the time. But would be nice if its something I can turn off

Same here, and all my permissions are set to allow.

is your firewall disabled? ususally enabling the firewall will fix this problem

That worked! Thanks.

Just beware some apps don't like it when the Firewall is enabled..

Never had a firewall issue with any of my apps. Which apps?

When I did this I had problems with at least 2 apps. One was ITookThisOnMyPhone which uploads pictures and videos automatically to a website.

The error is "...has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy." Since I don't have an IT policy, I guess the firewall is the IT policy.

Can't remember the other program but it was something that automatically accesses the data connection. I seem to have removed it since I tried this last time.

Another program I had a problem with was WeatherBug Direct, and I received that same error message.

Yeah, turning on the firewall is more of an annoyance than just accepting the Opera connection request! I just leave Opera running all the time in the background to avoid having to click it every time.

That may drain your battery life a bit.
