Sync issues when using Obsidian with VPN on Android

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Obsidian on Android, and it works great—until I enable a VPN. When the VPN is active, syncing either gets really slow or stops altogether. I tested this with several VPN apps, and the problem persists.

However, after switching to an app called Stag VPN, sync became stable and responsive again. Not sure what makes the difference technically, but it’s the only VPN that didn’t interfere with Obsidian’s sync for me.

Is anyone else using Obsidian with a VPN on mobile? Any insights or similar experiences?

Thanks in advance!

Obsidian Sync over Proton VPN works smoothly for me on Android, iPadOS, and Windows.
