Hi
I have run into a problem when using NordVPN on my shack PC (W10) that the UDP packets dont get from WSJT or other FT8 software to LOG4OM. If I disable NordVPN it works fine.. anyone else had this problem?
Cheers

Think you need to create a pipe for programs to use, ask the VPN provider for guidence as I have very limited knowledge about the subject.

An update with a solution to the problem.
I contacted NordVpn who were not able to solve the ticket I raised... However..
I also raised a ticket that with NordVpn active I could not access my NAS.
The solution to this also solved my LOG4OM.
It seems that in a (recent?) update NordVPN have added a "Feature" that is called Kill Switch.. turn it off!!
nordvpn set killswitch on
The NordVPN Kill Switch is a feature designed to protect your sensitive data by preventing unprotected internet access if your VPN connection drops. To enable the Kill Switch, you can use the command nordvpn set killswitch on in the terminal, or access it through the settings dashboard on the PC or Android apps. On iOS, the Kill Switch is automatically activated when you connect to a NordVPN server. Additionally, the Windows app offers both app-level and system-level Kill Switch options, allowing you to specify which apps to shut down if the VPN disconnects. This feature is crucial for maintaining your privacy and security while online...
But it also kills the link between WSJT.. and others to LOG4OM
