Can't log in to Sonos account on S2 app

Hi, I’ve been unable for the last few days to login to my Sonos account in the Sonos 2 app. I receive an error that says “Let’s try that again Something went wrong. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the internet and try again.”

I receive the same error when trying to do anything that would seem to require an internet connection: Connecting to music services, TruePlay, Network setting, etc. 

I’ve tried every troubleshooting tip I could find: restarting the app, deleting and reinstalling the app, rebooting my router, disconnecting things that may be causing interference.” And, yes, I’m definitely connected to the internet on my phone. 

I’m at a loss so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Any chance you’re running a VPN, doing some port blocking, or a virus /Trojan protection app? Some ‘work profiles’ when installed on a phone can also be trouble…

    Or, for that matter, a mesh network of some kind?

    Yes, my company had installed MS Defender for Endpoint on my device with VPN enabled. I disconnected and that resolved my issue. Thank you!

    But I’m going to be forced to turn Defender back on. Will I be OK now that I’ve successfully signed into my Sonos account and connected to a music service? Or might it block access in the future?

      You may need to turn it ‘off’ on occasion. It may just be blocking access to Sonos’ update servers, or it may be blocking access to other things, too…only you, and your IT department could say. 

      VPNs are designed to block external devices connecting….like your Sonos Speakers to the controller. You may need a separate, ‘personal’ device that doesn’t have Defender on it to use to control your Sonos.

        The loopback VPN in Defender is not compatible with Sonos. It interferes with login and music services in the Sonos app.

            I have the same problem when using Sonos on an Iphone 15 with iOS 17. It just started happening 10/28. Can’t find the system. . Nothing works.  Interestingly,  two iPads and my wife’s iphone with iOS 16 find the sonos system fine.   No VPN on my iphone.   Is there an issue with iOS 17?

            I’m running 17.1 on an iPhone 13, and two iPads, none of them have any difficulty logging in to Sonos. Any chance there is a ‘work profile’ of some type on your iPhone? Have you called Sonos Support directly to discuss it?

            No  . I’m not running a work profile.  I worked with Support using Chat a couple days ago. They couldn’t resolve it. They suggested that I call during business hours.  Haven’t had chance to do that yet
