Question

I recently installed a Kindle Fire HD8 (7th gen). I'm using Action Tiles, Fully Kiosk Pro, a single Wyze Pan Cam and tinycam pro. I work from home on a semi-regular basis, and I've noticed that my camera feed stops working when connected through the VPN for work. I'm not sure why this would matter, as it is just my PC that's connected. I'm not using much bandwidth and speed test showed that I still had plenty of pipe left. As soon as I disconnected the VPN and either reopened the Wyze App on my phone or refreshed ActionTiles on my kindle, the camera feed would be back. Has anyone here experienced that?  

Answer 1

My feed freezes also even without VPN. I have to close and reopen and it works again. However sometimes I have noticed that tinycam pro turns off the server option.  

Answer 2

Your VPN changes the network your computer thinks it is on. By connecting to your vpn it thinks you're in your office at work. It can be changed in the vpn settings. But your probably better off to leave it be and just deal with it.  

Answer 3

It's not clear "from which device" does the camera feed appears to stop. Given 3 devices: camera, firehd and your work laptop, are you saying the mere act of VPN connection on your laptop makes firehd to no longer show the camera feed?  

Answer 4

You vpn is probably configured with split tunnel disabled meaning that all of your traffic from your laptop/desktop route over the VPN to your corporate firewall so essentially all local traffic to your network is disabled and everything routes through your corporate infrastructure .  

Answer 5

I am running tinycam on a Kindle Fire. When connected to work through the VPN, I cant connect to the camera through Action tiles on my network, or through my phone, while strictly on cellular. Maybe it is all just coincidence and I was having issues period. But 3 different times, I disconnected from my VPN, reopened the APP on my phone and was able to connect. I really couldn't think of a good reason as to why it would happen.
