Using Line over VPN

[SlowlyMan]

My Line app won't send or receive while my VPN is on. Any ideas?

That’s odd. Are you setting it to a country where Line is forbidden ?

I've tried a server in Thailand and the US. Same result

I have a similar problem.

I use NordVPN and have it set to the USA.

I can see the notification that I have LINE messages but they are not there when I open LINE.

However, if I leave things alone they will eventually be there.

If I want to see them now, I have to pause my VPN then they appear.

Saw this on Quora:

"Why don't some apps work well when you use a VPN?

Some Social Media Apps and other Apps that contain sensitive information may be aware of your device's IP and location, so they can things get wrong while you are using a VPN connection. Also the device lock / location lock helps to protect your online security. Usually, a VPN changes your IP and Device info. so sometimes some apps may have difficulties."
