How to connect iPad with VPN to a MacBook Air

I am using MacBook Air and iPad as my second display.

When I connect my MacBook to iPad with Express VPN active it does not connect to iPad but when VPN is off then iPad connects without any issues.

Can anyone help me on how to connect iPad with VPN on on MacBook Air

Thanks

As described, your VPN client does not support “split tunnelling”. As such, when your VPN is active, all of your network traffic is directed via the VPN connection to the VPN Gateway; local network traffic between devices (such as Sidecar via WiFi) is blocked by the VPN policy.

When your VPN connection is not enabled, network connectivity between devices on your local network is restored.
