Yellow light on fire cube

my fire cube has full internet at 50mbps and can stream everything,there are no notification but with my vpn on there is a yellow light. Turn off the vpn and the light stops

Sounds like my KM6, the breathing light turns green after VPN is initiated. It a lot of times goes back blue which is “connected” to internet, but pretty sure the VPN throws off that network/internet detection a little because of the encryption. I am guessing the Cube may be the same way?

Here is the LED indicator colors for Fire TV Cube:

No light: The device is on and waiting for your request.
Solid blue with sweeping cyan lights: The device is starting up.
Solid blue with cyan light pointing in one direction: Alexa is busy processing your request.
Alternating solid blue and cyan light: The device is responding.
Alternating blue and cyan pulsing light: Time has ended / Alarm is going off.
Sweeping blue light: Controlling external device / Voice remote pairing mode.
Three blue flashes: Connecting to / Disconnecting from Bluetooth.
Pulsing red light: Device error.
Solid red light: Device is muted.
Pulsing purple light: Wi-Fi connection timed out, setup failed.
Sweeping orange light: Device is in set up mode OR has wifi issues.
Slow pulsing orange light: Unheard SMS.
Pulsing orange light (from sides to center): Wake word is changing.
Sweeping green light (left to right): Outbound call / Drop In ringing.
Pulsing green light (from center outwards): Incoming call / Drop In.
Sweeping green light: Call / Drop In connected.
White light (incremental increase / decrease): Device volume is being adjusted.

Green on the Mecools is supposed to be “not connected to internet”, similar to above. But the internet is perfectly fine when that light is green, and assuming the yellow light is the same on the Cube. The VPN I think messes with the status indicators.
