I have the same problem, following to see solution. Even tried split tunneling and added the Nest URL to bypass VPN to solve this, added the site to Online Threat exceptions in the firewall setting, still not fixed.

I have tried those options and like you still not working. As a further note I have Bitdefender VPN on my Android phone and tablet and it works fine. It is only on my windows 11 computer and laptop that have the problem.

Hi,
@Bthom whenever the VPN is enabled, your computer is technically in another network than your nest camera, which means they cannot communicate. No bypass, other than switching off the VPN entirely.
Best regards.

Not sure I follow since I can access the cameras on my cellphone when I’m away from home and therefore definitely not on the same network. When opening the cameras on the laptop you can access Nest and see the cameras, but the streaming is blocked and therefore not a live feed. Accessing Nest is not the issue, the issue is VPN preventing the live stream from the cameras. Doesn’t happen on my iPhone (using VPN).

I think the engineers might have to take a closer look at this. It's hard to tell based on the information we have.
I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams to troubleshoot this. You can get in touch with our engineers by choosing one of the contact methods available here:
