VPN issues with mobile app

Anyone having issues with a VPN and the latest update to the mobile app? My app just keeps saying that I'm not connected to the Internet unless I disable my VPN which I'm not prepared to do. This must be a bug as no proper app would force users to disable security features.

Hi @Loki666

This is not something that i'm familiar with, i only have vpn enabled on my work laptop.

Hi , I looked into this and unfortunately the app will reject connection attempts from arbitrary/anonymous locations and as a result it will not currently be compatible. Our own internal security relies on being able to identify the user and device during login and to put it simply some VPN's are not currently compatible with this. I appreciate that this may not be the answer that you hoped for and I will pass on your comments to the app team as feedback if you can let me know which VPN service you use?

Hi @Loki666
I see RossM has replied to your message and explained why you're having issue.
He will pass your comments onto the App team with feedback if you're able to let him know the VPN service you're using.
Take care and saty safe, Caz @25H

Using Nord VPN and none of my other banking apps have the issue.

Thanks for letting us know @Loki666 , we'll get this passed on to the app development team. Again, sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

I also use NordVPN and have not previously noted this issue. Forcing you to reduce your cyber security to use a financially sensitive banking app beggars belief. Get that sorted straight away!

Thank you for commenting @Properjob70. I have passed your feedback on to our app development team, apologies for any inconvenience caused!
