Hello, @okiepat2000…
There is one thing that I can think of that will prevent your cameras from connecting to your phone’s Wyze app when using PIA.
Go into the SETTINGS of PIA and make sure that BLOCK LOCAL NETWORK is OFF in order to ALLOW it access to your local network (I don’t see it mentioned here).
That has to be allowed in order to connect to the cameras and to your Mobile Data, at least for me on 5 different Android devices (view screenshot below). If I enable it to BLOCK Local Network then my cameras won’t connect. In addition, If I’m away from home and try to connect to Mobile Data then PIA won’t connect to that either until I “allow” access to Local Network.
After changing the BLOCK LOCAL NETWORK setting… make sure you shut-off PIA and then turn it on again (tap on slider bar on PIA).
If you already have your setting to allow access to your local network then obviously this won’t help you.
Fingers crossed that this helps you and other people using different VPNs that have a similar setting.
