    Your Phone Companion and VPNs


    My YPC was often running OK (surprise). But when I turned on VPN (Nord) on both the computer and phone, that was it.

    Is there a way around this?

    One possibility: Your Phone App not working with VPN - something called Fiddler.

    I just did a Google search on the title of your post: Your Phone Companion and VPNs and got lots of hits.

    That involves Windows 8. And too convoluted.

    If it works on 8 it should work on 10. Agree it's a bit involved, but it sounds like it would work.

    Did you look at any of the other Google results? There were quite a few of them.

My phone is an Android. On Windows (10, Enterprise) YPC works, then doesn't work, then works, etc. The app says it's OK (on Android). When the app works, it is VERY USEFUL. But then it doesn't work and there is no meaningful diagnostic tools.
