VPN conflict within Brave

I use NordVPN and can’t access eBay in Brave when the VPN is “on”. I can access eBay in Safari even when the VPN is “on”. Any ideas??


Type of device (Desktop, iPhone/iPad, Android phone, etc.): Ma

Brave version:

Detailed** description of the behavior:**

I have same issue with ProtonVPN. No clues how to fix this. Maybe they want us to use Brave VPN only?

You’re welcome to use any VPN with Brave you’d like – this has nothing to do with why eBay is denying access to OP.

@bapdco we’ll need a bit more detail about the issue – first, can you tell me what OS you’re using as well as what Brave version?

Additionally, with NordVPN enabled, can you please test using another Chromium based browser (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, etc.) and tell me if you get the same results? Additionally, what server region are you connecting to in the VPN?

I still cannot figure out why I have to turn off my Proton VPN before I can initiate a search or visit some websites from Brave. Am I missing some kind of setting? Interestingly, all of the issues just popped up 3-4 weeks ago. I have tried rolling back Win 11 updates to the point before the issue and that did not help. I have also reinstalled all updates to see if that helps, but it did not either. Seems to be a problem only in Brave, works fine with other browsers like FireFox or Chrome, but I hate chrome browsers and keep hoping I can figure the Brave issue out.

To confirm, you did test this in Chrome/another Chromium browser with Proton VPN enabled and did not see any issues?

That’s correct, I have needed to turn off VPN or use Firefox instead if I wanted VPN on. Interestingly, since yesterday I am able to use Brave without any issues - I have not made any changes to system or browser. so no clue why. If it starts again, what do you recommend I do to troubleshoot or document?
