vpn breaks connectivity to Continuity Camera

I simply love the new function with Continuity Camera between my iPhone 13 and Macbook. But i often use it on my home office where i, of course, is connected with VPN to my workplace. But VPN somehow interrupt with Continuity Camera, but why...? I'm running VPN with split tunnel, so my local subnet is intact. Why oh why Apple... please help me/us fix this! I love the function, but this limit my use of it.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

"try disabling the vpn"? As i write the whole issue is that I'm unable to be connected with a vpn client while utilizing Continuity Camera, so suggestion to disable vpn is not even a workaround :)


VPN known to cause issues on macOS? What planet are you living on? Even a small enterprise network would remotely connect their users with vpn, for some instances VDI solutions but vpn is pretty much standard. A cisco anyconnect solution or the built-in vpn client in macos is pretty standard in all OS'es out there. I really hope you don't spend too much time spreading misleading advice like that.

I assume you mean bloatware programs can cause issues, but that really isn't the question here, but yes... that is a good idea to remove I guess.

Try disabling the VPN.


Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN

All known to cause issue on the macOS



A true VPN tunnel, for example between you and your job, or a Bank server would be of value, otherwise might be time to re-think the usage.


see: Public VPN's are anything but private
