Hello, I have 2 Amazon Echo speakers, both of which are excluded via the VPN policy (based on the client device). So that both devices should “not” use VPN.
The funny thing is: without the VPN turned on, the devices work wonderfully.
If I switch on Nordvpn-VPN (but devices are “excluded” from the VPN), they work.
If I turn off Nordvpn and turn on Surfshark VPN, both speakers immediately tell me when I ask them something that there is no internet connection and nothing works.
Even restarting all devices doesn't help. Only when I deactivate Surfshark again does it work again immediately.
Why does Nordvpn and Surfshark not work???
or even better if the Amazon device is excluded from the VPN why does it still have an impact??
