The financial site you're trying to reach [B][I]might[/I][/B] have some videos on it (like, Vimeo, which is blocked in Indonesia). The way to get around that is by using a VPN.
Preferably a [B]good[/B] one. There are many "free" ones but IMHO, better to avoid them, for various reasons.
The Opera browser's built-in VPN is "OK", but [I]extremely[/I] limited in things like the number of servers, where they are, choice of protocols (Open VPN, UDP, PPTP, etc). It [I]might[/I] work for your needs, but expect slow servers or servers that are nowhere near Indonesia.
I would suggest going for a full-featured VPN on a trial basis (free to try). For example, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, etc.
I've been using iPVanish for several years and it's been fine for me. (But, they don't really have a reasonable trial option).
Most of the paid ones have different price structures. You could opt for a month at first and see how it goes. Yearly subscriptions are cheaper, but not exactly prohibitive (around $60-100 per year).
Also keep in mind that how fast things work while using a VPN depend on what kind of ISP service you have where you are.
A typical VPN will decrease your speed at least 10%.
