"The RIng App has a Temporary Connection Issue"

I've been using the Ring app on my Galaxy S9, Android 9, and it's been fine until yesterday when I would get a Temporary Connection Issue. There seemed like no way to get into the app, via cell or wifi. I've been using NordVpn for quite a while and have previously had no issues using the Ring app with it connected. But after disconnecting Nord today I can now get into the app. The Ring app definitely does not like Nord now for some reason... though other apps are functioning fine. Why is this a problem for the Ring App? Please fix......
