I noticed recently I have been unable to use copy/paste from my iPhone to my iPad and Vice versa. Then I was getting notifications my iPad was not backing up, and my photos have not been syncing.
Today while trying to sync my photos I turned off Proton VPN and it sync’d. My iPad also backed up.
I searched around the net for a solution and all I found was a thread in the Apple discussion forums with a lot of VPN hate.
My iPhone has no issues, both use the same settings for proton VPN, although the specific server they use is typically different, as I just hit connect to fastest.
Anyone else with similar issues find a fix?


Photo sync, iMessages, iCloud backup etc all work fine on my iPhone with proton vpn active. It is only my iPad that is having issues.
