When using a VPN, connecting to Wi-Fi-enabled toys can be problematic because the VPN masks your device's location, causing network mismatch issues.
- Using a VPN changes your device's perceived network, preventing it from being on the same Wi-Fi network as your toy.
- For successful connection, both the device and toy must be on the same local network.
- If VPN is necessary, consider connecting toys via Bluetooth, as it does not rely on IP addresses or networks for connectivity.
These insights should help in managing VPN and toy settings effectively.
