Unable to Use NoVNC while using a VPN

I'm having some trouble connecting with my Android tablet when using NordVPN. All my other devices work find (PCs, iPhones).

I use this address to connect:
PC: http://192.168.0.173:6080/vnc.html

FYI... I use \\192.168.0.173\Pictures To create a shortcut on my PC Desktop so that I can move the images to my PC.

I used to use: stellarmate.local:6080/vnc.html ...before installing NordVPN, but now the direct IP is the only thing that works (except for the Android Tablet).

You should probably not run VPNs when connecting to Stellarmate/Astroberry.

1. The VPN tunnels all your traffic to a public egress point, so through the VPN you can only connect to public Internet resources, so not being able to access your Stellarmate when connected should be considered a good thing (if it worked then something would be very wrong).

2. Is there a setting in NordVPN to allow local network resources, or perhaps a network exclusion / split tunneling list? If so you should probably set 192.168.0.0/24 as one of those networks.

If you are using an openvpn profile for NordVPN then you might be able to edit the ovpn file and add the following line:

route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway

Then disconnect / reconnect with the new profile file.

This will exclude traffic going to 192.168.0.* from using the NordVPN.

Thanks guys! I'll give it a try. For now, what I due is disable NordVPN for a bit, look at the session, then turn it back on.

My iPhone and PC have no issues.
