Homekit Express VPN Eufy Indoor camera

Just started using ExpressVPN and I can not connect to the Video feed from within the Apple Homekit app, it shows me a thumbnail image but if I open the camera it will just spin and not open. If I turn off the VPN the video feed works as expected in the Home Kit app. The native Eufy app does work with the same VPN on or off. Now what makes this more confusing to me if that my M1 MBP on the same WIFI network with the same Express VPN works with the VPN turned ON. Makes no sense to me. Shouldn't matter but I just moved in and I'm still using the AT&T U-Verse WIFI router.

Thanks

Connecting to Hue Bridge for Homekit This problem is a cross-platform issue, I've found that the guru's on here tend to provide the best support. I'm trying to connect a Philips Hue bridge to my Homekit. Every time I type in the code on the back of the device, it errors and says, "unable to add accessory, the setup code is incorrect.". It doesn't matter if its on my iPad Air II or iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am totally up-to-date on iOS software. I have an Orbi network and have factory reset it as new. Now, it seems that the problem is that my iPhone and iPad are connecting to the network as a 5ghz devices. But the Bridge is on the 2.4ghz and so they aren't communicating. However, I can't turn off the 5ghz network in the network settings on the Orbi web portal for the router. Is there a work around for this? I'm not 100% sure this is my problem. Maybe something else is going on? This is the first time I've set up a Philips product and my first foray into a smart home. I thought by going the Homekit route it would be easiest since I'm already in the Apple ecosystem, but this has proven to be very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!
