For the past few days, when I click on a New York Times article in one of my NewsBlur Android app feeds, I intermittently get an error message. &nbsp;In contrast, when everything is working properly, clicking on a New York Times article in an Android NewsBlur feed brings up the full article from the New York Times app. &nbsp;(My phone is a Moto G5 Plus.)

**Interim Update:** &nbsp;It’s been only a few hours since I first posted this conversation, and I have discovered that the problem I describe seems to disappear when I turn off the virtual private network (VPN) app on my phone. &nbsp;(My VPN provider is [Private Internet Access](https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ "Link https//wwwprivateinternetaccesscom/").) &nbsp;I’ll report back later on whether this definitely fixes the problem.

Most likely sounds like an issue with the NYT app’s intent filter.&nbsp; When you tap out of an article from the NewsBlur app, it handles it just as if you had tapped a URL from any app or browser (we are 100% agnostic to what happens thereafter).&nbsp; Do let us know if you get any oddness with the NYT articles in the NewsBlur app, though.
