When I have a privacy VPN active (such as Private Internet Access - PIA) I can't access the cloud features on Office 365 (such as online templates, OneNote sync to the cloud, Excel or Word saving to OneDrive directly, etc). I have tried 3 different VPN solutions: PIA, NordVPN and VPNArea and they all exhibit the same issue. Is there a way to solve this or to tell Office to bypass the VPN?

I finally got around to coming up with a fix for Offece365 and OPenVPN problems, I have published a guide to fixing these problems here:

I found that just enabling TCP worked for me with NordVPN and Outlook for Android.

It did for me too - but only for an hour or so. :-(
Have added the default gateway and will see how it goes. Thanks Mac.
After trying numerous solutions, the one that worked for me was specifying the Google dns, as mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. I also updated nord VPN when updates were made available. It's all working now and had been for about a month.
Thanks so much, This looks like it's working.
