VPN Support for Photo Steams and Backdrops

It seems that both Photo Streams and Backdrops both abort if the Roku Device is connected through VPN. Without VPN connected, they work great. As a new feature request, I’m hoping that Roku will be able to support both Photo Streams and Backdrops when connected to VPN.

    Not likely. Roku does not support VPNs and actively discourages their use with their products. In fact, discussion of VPN use on Roku products was once "forbidden" on this forum and my still be.
