Unable to Connect if vpn is active (Windows 11)

1 hour 11 minutes ago

I am unable to connect to the FTH 4 sites for both my clubs (East Ottawa Toastmasters #3656, Advanced Speakers Club #7258) if I'm connected to the vpn.  My laptop is on home wifi, then I connect to vpn.  Any attempt to go the website fails - i.e. nothing happens.  When I disconnect vpn, then I connect immediately.

I've tried this from 2 Win11 laptops and one Win11 desktop.  Interestingly, I tried an old Win10 laptop and had no issue.  There must be some setting in Win11 which is causing the issue.  Any suggestions?

Cheers,

FTH does not support VPN most are blocked because of hackers.

Ok. So, that's going to be a challenge for me to be admin. Sometimes, I do my work away from office (i.e. Starbucks), so I always connect my vpn. Any other way around this?

Thanks.

Sorry no. FTH4 and FTH3 have the same blocks in place and using FTH3 it didn't bother you.

Try different VPN IP
