Power Automate Desktop & VPN

[Ramtin]

Hi Everyone,

I installed Power Automate Desktop (PAD) on my machine and it runs and connects with no problem.

But when I turn on VPN, PAD is no longer able to connect.

Scenario 1:

When I am connected to VPN and I click on "edit flow" I get the error below, then if I click "close" it will delete my flow....

Scenario 2:

When I am connected to VPN and am already in a flow I can edit, change, run, and delete steps within the flows without any issues but I cannot save the flow or exit the flow. I have to specifically disconnect from VPN, then save it. If I want to get into the flow again, I need to disconnect from VPN, click "Edit flow" then connect back with VPN.

Question:

1. Do we need to whitelist a URL to enable PAD to fully work while connecting to VPN?

2. If it's not a whitelist issue, what else could it be? how to make PAD work with VPN turned on?

thank you

try to run fiddler with your network admin and compare behavior between with/without VPN

Hi, you need to whitelist *.dynamics.com url from the corporate network. Hope it will help you.

Thank you @sunilb and @kierian  for the reply

I have a request with our infrastructure team to whitelist *dynamics.com 

as soon as it's done and tested I will reply back with an update

white listing *.dynamics.com worked, thank you!
