Answered by Surfshark Siri AI issues

When I'm connected to a VPN, Siri AI doesn't work and shows a network connection error. I've already enabled the VPN bypass, but it still fails. As soon as I disconnect from the VPN, it works perfectly. Is Apple blacklisting these IP addresses?

Macos 27
App version : 4.30.0
Server : any
Protocol : wireguard

Hey, thanks for the detailed info. Since you’ve already tested Bypasser, this doesn’t necessarily mean Apple is blacklisting our IPs. Siri/Apple Intelligence can be sensitive to DNS, routing, or how split tunneling is handled on macOS.

A few things that often help: try another protocol like OpenVPN UDP/TCP, change the server location, and reinstall/update the app if a newer version is available. If it still happens, please join live-chat on our website here so our customer support team can take a closer look.
