Roku Streaming Stick connection ended because of your VPN connection.

Running Android 12. I receive the error "Roku Streaming Stick connection ended because of your VPN connection." when I try to mirror my screen to my Roku stick.

I am split tunneling both the Roku app and my screen mirroring software, so I should not be getting this error. Is this a known issue?

Re: Roku Streaming Stick connection ended because of your VPN connection.

Okay but are you going to answer my question? The VPN is used to connect to my network.
