I have pivpn setup at home to route all my iPhone traffic , to enable pinhole ad blocking/access to home network when away from home .
When I’m connected to CarPlay I seem to have issues with Apple Music , it keeps dropping etc.
I have the wireguard app on my phone with an on demand profile , so It auto connects when I leave my home Network
Anyone else have same issue …
Apple Music plays fine when connect (not through CarPlay)
Had the same issue when I setup WireGuard on my iPhone. I had to create an exception rule in WireGuard for the CarPlay unit name (mine is wireless). Never had issues with direct cable connection though. VPN or not.
Carplay may be trying to send information to a server blocked by pihole, look for an Apple carplay or itunes whitelist
Hi yes. Thanks ! This is when wireless .
I’m not sure how WireGuard handles the wireless connection. I guess it needs to be ignored and just use the cellular to route out . How would I create an exception rule ?
Sorry actually this was in a L2TP VPN setup I had to create an exception rule for the unit name. My WireGuard VPN did not need an exception and seems to work fine. What VPN protocol are you using?
I also have PIA VPN and that app when on would cause intermittent issues with the wireless connection with the unit. Not just Apple Music. Like the whole OS. So VPNs in general gave me trouble when using CarPlay. Since I switched to WireGuard, I haven’t really had any issues related to VPNs.
Also, since you’re having issues with just Apple Music, I’d check your blocklist and make sure you have whitelisted the correct domains. Do this first before you go trying to reconfigure your VPNs
