iPhone and iPad not showing on Finder using WiFi connection

I'm having some issues with Finder on my Macbook Pro M1.

When connecting my 12 Pro Max or iPad 7th Generation through cable, they appear on Finder.

I checked the option to use sincronization through Wifi, apply that setting but those 2 devices don't appear on Finder.

Everytime I restart my Macbook, the option to sync through Wifi is always turned off.

How can I solve this?!

I'm using NextDNS on all my devices.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

DNS usually isn’t a problem here, as this sequence uses mDNS and not DNS.


What can get involved are add-on VPNs—which completely reconfigure networking—and local network or Wi-Fi connectivity issues.


If there are no VPNs involved here anywhere, try restarting the Wi-Fi router on the off chance that has gotten tangled.
