Flex 6400 Link-Local and Software VPN

I have a 6400 and typically run Surfshark as my VPN for traffic on all my computers. I have the 6400 wired directly into my desktop as it is too far from the router to network it that way. Given that there is no plan for remote operation. When I have my VPN turned on SmartSDR, DAX, and CAT can't see the radio. I have all three services set to bypass the VPN and it still is blocked. Any ideas?

    Wanted to leave an update as I have been working with my VPN provider over the last few weeks. So far they have not been able to pinpoint any reason why the local link connection would be having issues with the VPN connected and routing traffic. Interestingly enough though, just to test a theory, I installed a WiFi extender near where the radio is and when wired directly into that and therefore the network itself rather than as a local link there are no issues.
    For anyone in the future having issues with a VPN and local link connection the solution might just be to network the radio however you are able.
