Do you want to change the User Agent string your Opera sends out? So you get easily identifiable entries in server logs? That is possible without using proxies.
A quick hack is to change the language code in the UA string to something unusal. Create a language file like this:
; Opera language file version 2.0
[Info]
Language="x-klingon"
LanguageName="Klingon"
Charset="iso-8859-1"
... under the name 'klingon.lng' and select this file as your language file. As it does not actually contain any translations, the default English strings will be used. After you switch ID (F12), you'll see that the language name part of the UA string will change
