Briefly describe your issue:

I’ve recently started using NordVPN to enhance my security, along with a dedicated IP address on my laptop (not phone). When I connect to my VPN (always a London Server and I am in the UK) I get disconnected from Uphold. When I try to reconnect I get a ‘site in mainentence’ message. Pausing the VPN and reconnecting fixes this.

Could it possibly have to do with this topic?

PSA: Current Rewards Issues (June 2023) *UPDATED*

The Brave Rewards have been messed up for some users getting flagged and people have speculated that a VPM might be affecting it but I’m not sure if this has been proved or not.

@coltaku this has nothing to do with what OP is asking.


Not sure about this. I’ll tag in @Mattches to see if he has any insight to offer.

Just to clarify, you are saying that your connection between Brave Rewards and Uphold is broken when the VPN connects — is that correct?
