I've been using the Ring app on my iPhone 11, and it's been fine until today when I would get a Temporary Connection Issue. There seemed like no way to get into the app, via cell or wifi. I've been using NordVpn for quite a while and have previously had no issues using the Ring app with it connected. So I tried disconnecting Nord and now I can now get into the app. The Ring app definitely does not like Nord now for some reason... though other apps are functioning fine. Why is this a problem for the Ring? I should be able to use a VPN at my home and the Ring. Please fix!

Agreed. I just had the same issue with my S21 Ultra. Stopped working yesterday after major iOS update. It appears Ring (aka Amazon) is trying to gather more data on you. There are only a few apps that do not allow VPNs on my phone which are banking apps... same problem, they want to force you to allow them to collect more data on you. You will note that trying to Login to Ring.com also will nor work with a VPN on... there lies the true problem with Ring... NOT your VPN. Temporary solution is to disable VPN, login to Ring, then enable VPN and you should get notifications but to view them in the app you have to disable the VPN.

I have been using Ring Protect plus for years, and I also use Nord VPN. I have tried switching my vpn connection to NordLynx, and turning local network setting off. But I cannot get the Ring app to work on my iPhone Max Pro 11, using iOS 15.1. If I cannot use the app with my vpn then I will not be renewing my Ring subscription in December.
