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 switched it to TCP and it worked for a bit, then maybe some updates came out, now it doesn't work anymore.
Were you able to find a solution?? Please share!!
i was to earlie , concluding that this was the answer.
in Nord VPN disabled, cyber-sec and use TCP as a connection , but the no internet connection is still displayed.
After disconnecting Nord PVN it works right away, i am going to contact Nord VPN about this.
For me , this was allso the solution , using Nord VPN.
Servicestatus of office account is OK.

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:

Just wondering if that defeats the purpose of having a privacy VPN (not saying it does, just asking). Does adding a default gateway in the TAP adapter just cause all traffic to go out via the normal connection and not through the VPN?
Thanks so much, This looks like it's working.
