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.
