Interested to see if VPN users have any problems using Wyze Cameras. I have considered using a VPN, then I was wondering if it would affect my Wyze Cam viewing and connections.

Both my Android phone with Wyze & Reolink App,
And my cellular home Internet are on VPN.
Haven’t noticed any difference in them with VPN on or off

It will add a bit of latency but shouldn’t be an issue. Most VPNs also have bandwidth limits that may be less than going direct, but these cams don’t use a lot of bandwidth.
The main issue with VPNs (especially public/free ones) is that their IPs can get blacklisted from time to time. Since Wyze uses AWS which sees a lot of malicious traffic and blacklists a lot of IPs, it could have an impact from time to time where you can’t connect until the VPN provider gets their IPs removed from the blacklist, or starts using a different one.

I am using two types of VPN, NordVPN for IP masking and TailScale for site to site VPN. No issues with either. As @dave27 mentioned, Nord VPN adds a bit of a latency as the speed caps at around 250-300 Mbps and no latency whatsoever with TailScale.
thank you so much for your information
I’m on a Windows PC, and I use NordVPN, but I’ve also tried ProtonVPN, and in either case, the instant I turn on a VPN connection, all livestreaming ends, and I cannot access my cameras.

I have NordVPN. I set up my router to create a NordVPN tunnel just now, for my desktop and one of my Wyze cameras. I can access that camera using the Wyze app and WebView. I’ve also used the NordVPN app for Windows 11 to access WebView.

Yup, that’s why I mentioned that as being the “Main Issue” with VPNs in my post that you replied to.
I use Chromebook os and started using proton VPN and so far, no issues…kind of a hassle to setup, but so far so good….ty

What is the “setup” supposed to be? What settings need to be modified?
