Sync Over VPN?
-
Has anyone else run into issues syncing over a VPN? Any root causes identified if so?
I installed the Snapshot of Vivaldi Android today, configured my sync with valid credentials, and hours later checked the sync status in vivaldi://sync. There was nothing in the log. After turning off my VPN it immediately started downloading the data, I could watch the log grow every couple of seconds. So clearly, for whatever reason, the sync wasn't working due to the VPN connection.
The sync works fine on my workstation when connected to the same VPN.

@bonetone Would you be able to share which VPN you use?

@LonM PIA

Sorry for the late reply. I also use PIA VPN privately and can't reproduce this issue. Have you changed any of the default settings of PIA?

There are also no problems with Proton VPN

@gaelle Sorry as well, I should have replied to the thread stating that I got it working. It's been a while, so I don't recall exactly what the issue was. But all of my various Vivaldi installs are currently syncing just fine, and they're all going over VPN as well.
My apologies for letting this thread dangle without resolution.
Oh, it might have been a UDP vs TCP issue. I do remember having an issue with the VPN not working over UDP a while ago as well. I'm not certain these two issues were at the same time, but it feels right. Obviously that would have been an issue with any connection, not just Vivaldi sync. The more I think about it, the more it seems that was it.

@bonetone Thanks for your reply and great to hear that it's all working great on your side again.
