I had posted back in December with yellow scrolling light issues. I got some good advice and changed the IPVanish to the Ashburn server and the yellow light went away. Until yesterday. It’s back, So the Ashburn server is no longer helping me. There was some other advice to split tunnel Amazon stuff but I couldn’t figure out what? When the yellow light is scrolling, when I first wake the cube up, all I have to do is turn IPVanish off and the yellow light goes off. Not even in any apps or apks yet. So what Amazon stuff do I need to split tunnel off the vpn? Thoughts?

This is from Amazon. Sorry but it’s not much help IMHO.

I had the same issue for weeks. Didn’t affect anything really, as all APKs, etc worked fine; just annoying. Someone here said to split tunnel all Amazon items (all programs, apps, etc.) and that worked; no pulsing light since then. BTW, this is an Amazon issue, not a VPN issue.
I dont have a cube but on the echo devices a yeallow light means you have a new notification or message from amazon. Might be that but i dont know for sure
I went around with Amazon back in December. Internet is fine, not the problem. And if I wake the cube up it is not in setup mode. I don’t use any Amazon apps or stuff so not sure what I would split tunnel. All I do is put the cube to sleep. After 15-20 minutes the scrolling yellow light starts. If I wake the device and simply turn off IPVanish the yellow light goes out immediately. Turn IPVanish back on and within 15-20 minutes the yellow light is on. When it was on the Ashburn server it had stopped. Now suddenly it started. If Amazon allows IPVanish on their app store why would they do something to cause yellow light when you use it? I will try other servers to see if the light goes away. Annoying.
