Using VPNs with Luna Display
Luna Display does not officially support VPNs. VPNs can block Luna from communicating between devices because they reroute network traffic and hide IP addresses.
Why VPNs Can Cause Issues
Luna Display relies on a local network connection. Since VPNs route traffic through a different network, they may prevent Luna from working properly.
Possible Workarounds
- Split Tunneling: Some VPNs allow split tunneling, which may let Luna connect while other traffic goes through the VPN. However, this varies by VPN provider and setup. We recommend contacting your VPN provider for support.
- Wired Connections: Using a wired connection (USB for Mac-to-iPad or PC-to-iPad, Ethernet or Thunderbolt for Mac-to-Mac) may help, but a VPN can still interfere.
- Tailscale VPN: The only VPN we've found to work reliably with Luna is Tailscale. Both devices must be connected to Tailscale, as it maintains a consistent IP address for each device.
Note: VPNs are not officially supported with Luna Display. We cannot provide setup guidance for VPN configurations.
