No WiFi and LAN connection when using NordVPN

[GanerCodes]

Local network access and everything is enabled in Nord, I even tried limiting it to only run with certain applications however it doesn't fix this. Funny thing is I can still connect to the IP on my phone/pc/etc, just the prompt is blocking me from doing anything

I have this issue as well, but I do not use NordVPN. I have my own Wireguard server, and I have LAN. This is a Windows 10 PC.

Does this app need access to Internet to function?

It seems like it is checking for update and fails then decides no network is available?

@GanerCodes if Deskreen is working for you and the only issue is that the "No Wifi" prompt is in the way, you can remove that prompt through somewhat of a hack, opening the Electron webdev tools.

Here's how to do it:

1. start Deskreen with the --remote-debugging-port flag
2. look in the CLI what's the port that Deskreen is using (it should presented in the first lines, http://127.0.0.1:, the port is the next number.
3. Open a webbrowser in your host computer and go to http://127.0.0.1:yourporthere and click on the "inspector" link.
4. Now open the webdev tools (Ctrl+Shift+K in Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+I in Chrome) and find the element there to be deleted. It's probably the last div there, you can search for it with something like:

for (let div of document.getElementsByTagName('div')) {
  if (div.textContent.includes('No WiFi or LAN')) console.log(div);
}

PS: this is a horrible hack, but it can be a work around while this issue isn't fixed
