I contacted Nord VPN with my app issue. They told me to turn off Threat Protection Lite in my profile. I did and the SimpliSafe app immediately started working properly.

Hi @ybbob8533,
What VPN are you currently using? Our engineering team is currently looking into cases where users cannot access the SimpliSafe app with a VPN installed. I've added your case to their ongoing ticket.

I have the same issue after updating the SimpliSafe app on my iPhone and iPad. I get a message stating the app is temporarily unavailable. I use Nord VPN.

Should I switch to SimpliSafe?
I’m looking at switching my ring system over to SimpliSafe but before I do that I need to make sure I’ll be able to open all movement notifications from my cameras while using NordVPN or any other vpn for that matter.
How is the situation now?

This issue just started for me. I use ProtonVPN and allow LAN connections. Absolutely unacceptable for a security app to not allow me to use a secure connection.
