I haven't had to make my own OS, I've been using what's installed on the phone for years. This is the first hiccup I've had because of "old age".

Anyway, I've finally had a chance to look through the settings in opera, and there are settings in about:config to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 2.1, which I've done. Duckduckgo seems happy again, so I'm sorted (at least for the time being )

Thanks again for the help.
