After updating my iPhone 15 pro max to ios 18 and my 2019 iMac to Sequoia messages no longer updates on my iMac. I can still read what was there before the updates but not afterwards. I also cannot send messages from my iMac. Messages is still working on iPhone.

Yup, I run OpenVPN 24/7, and have been having problems sending messages since upgrading to Sequoia. Turning off my VPN allows the messages to go.
I rarely experience bugs with Apple software, but this one is a major foo bar! Let's see a fix, Apple!
And in your mind it’s impossible that it is a problem with OpenVPN? Really? Have you considered this:
When you install VPN it configures itself to the specific hardware, OS version and network that the device uses. If any of those change it can break the VPN. So any time you change any of these you may need to delete the VPN app and profile, restart your iPhone, iPad or Mac then add them back (if you still want to use VPN) so it can configure itself to the new environment.
Thanks! That worked.
Hey Apple! Stop acting like Boeing!!
Hey there! You can still use PIA - at least I can - when I turn off the Kill Switch in the PIA settings. Uncheck the Kill Switch checkbox, turn on PIA, and see what happens.
Aha, yep Mozilla VPN, same thing. Ugh toggling VPN seems like a fool's errand.
Thanks for doing the digging here!
Interesting read over on pcmag.com with the headline 5 Ways macOS Sequoia Is Worse Than Windows. Seems like a lot of users are really angry with Apple over a lot of issues.
Was just reading that Messages is CPU hog but if you close the window (see screenshot) the CPU usage will eventually drop
but i dont use a vpn and i have the problem too
👍
👍
Thanks. Tried that but no luck. Glad it worked for you.
“This issue seems to only affect standalone VPN clients”, I don’t have a VPN and I was affected by the issue
Same issue here with my VPN
I have the same issue and this solution isn't working for me.
Yeah, that's another problem with this forum.
After upgrading to Sequoia 15, I no longer see Sent emails. When will this bug be rectified by Apple.
macos Sequoia causing problems with messages on mac
