Airplay wont work unless Im connected to VPN

I have tried unsuccessfully to resolve this issue, but, I cannot air play to any device on my network (2 apple tv's) until I connect to my works' VPN.


The networks are not even remotely the same. I cant figure out where to even start looking. Any thoughts?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 9.3.4

airplay is sending audio or visuals to an appletv from an ios device or osx device


shared iTunes lib is the appletv accessing the media in iTunes on a computer


both features require the 2 devices to be on the same network it does not work across the Internet


if it works when vpn is enabled then it's because both devices are present on that network rather then on the local wifi network.
