VPN Blocking Connection

[ThreeTen]

Hello, @dpeel9…

I don’t use NordVPN, but I’ve used a paid subscription to PIA for the past 8-years (Private Internet Access).

I posted a reason that causes PIA to do the exact same thing, so it’s plausible that it could cause NordVPN not to allow connections to your cameras via the Android app.

I’m not sure if it will help, but I figured I’d mention it so you can read my post to see if NordVPN has a similar setting for BLOCK LOCAL NETWORK. If so… that could cause issues to connect to your cameras.

Using Wyze app with PIA

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.

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 Netwo…

Keep in mind that paid versions of VPNs have more benefits than free (you didn’t specify if you’re using a paid or free version of NordVPN)

Good luck.
