I’m having a bizarre issue with my iPad, it may not be device related but curious is this sub can help.
When I use my iPad I have a popular VPN running at all times (due to my location). Sometimes I find I have no internet connection (even though device says I do) regardless of whether the VPN says connected. To fix this I have to do some random process of turning internet off, turning VPN off/on. I keep doing this until it starts working randomly.
I now have the problem where internet works when VPN auto connects but there’s something stopping me downloading any movies on apps such as Netflix/NowTV. I have made sure I’m using a VPN country that supports those movies and apps. I then do the same on/off process in a random order and it all of a sudden works again……
Any idea what’s happening here? I’m not technical but my only hypothesis is that for a split second the device isn’t connected to VPN, there is some security cached on the network.
For reference, WiFi/cellular here blocks many websites or has restrictions.
