Safari Bookmarks Not Syncing macOS10.3 / iOS11

Safari bookmarks stopped syncing between my iMac & iOS devices after I upgraded to macOS High Sierra (10.13 + supplemental).


Changes made in iOS sync properly between my iPhone & iPad running iOS 11.0.3, but do NOT sync to my iMac running macOS 10.13 High Sierra.


Changes made on my iMac do NOT sync to my iOS devices.


I toggled the iCloud bookmarks setting & merged my macOS bookmarks. However, the bookmarks STILL don’t sync.

Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing by unchecking the box for Safari. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing.


Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?

Turns out my issue was iCloud not syncing over a VPN. I have PIA VPN and was using Viscosity and that has worked fine for years. I tried using the PIA app from their website and it syncing started working again. Hopefully Apple undo whatever they did to cause this bug or Sparklabs releases an update ASAP as the PIA app isn't very nice to use
