Android app connectivity

[rickym]

I have always used an iphone  and had no trouble with the synology app connecting to my servers. I now have a android phone and installed the synology app but absolutely can't connect to my servers. Any suggestions. I also can't connect using my firefox browser on my phone. Thanks in advance.

Well after working on this for hours and finally figured it out. Not sure if it leaves me open to any problems. In my PIA VPN app on my phone I selected allow lan traffic. I did get this warning "Notice that some system applications (such as the Google app) could bypass the VPN when access to the local network is allowed.

Well VPN is mostly a scam anyway.
