Connection failures when using ChatGPT with Apple Intelligence on my iPhone 16 Pro

Many issues with ChatGPT and VPN's whether you are using Apple Intelligence or not. In fact many issues with VPN's in general. Once you remove the VPN, not just disable, and everything works OK, then you have identified the problem and you have the choice of not using the VPN or contacting the developer for a solution. It is the VPN's responsibility to make their service work for you, not Apple's responsibility to make the device work for a particular VPN.

Disable or remove the VP entirely.

It does virtually nothing to protect your privacy or secure your data. Quite the opposite, actually.

Contact your VPN provider to see what "workaround" they may have for you. Any service that enforces geoblocking surely is not going to provide a workaround for the well known methods of VPN use to represent a different location that the service may consider to be fraudulent. Security is another issue where data is leaked to the VPN provider and that may not be acceptable.

Try it without the VPN and see if it works. If it does, you'll know it was the VPN. If it doesn't, you'll need to troubleshoot more.

I want a solution that works with my vpn!

Before you can do that, you need to find out if the VPN is even the problem. It may not be. But the only way to determine that is to try it without the VPN. I'm not saying never use the VPN again. I'm saying start the investigation.

I already tried without the vpn and it works. I also already checked the dns requests on the logs of my server to see if it was blocking anything and it wasn't, but i tried without the adguard, as i said in the beginning, and obtained the same result.

Then, as everyone is telling you, it doesn't work with the VPN.

Why are you using the VPN? Are you using it to circumvent some sort of geographic restriction? It doesn't sound as if you're using it to log into an employer's secure server.

Apparently, you're going to need to make a choice, the VPN or ChatGPT.

I suspect that the VPN doesn't improve your security nearly as much as you think it does. This article is mostly about commercial services, but it does describe some of the limitations and misconceptions about VPNs

Don't Use VPN Services

We are talking about different things. My vpn is a tunnel to my local network; and it is self hosted - so it is not by any company, neither it is a commercial thing.

I understand that.

I don't use it cause of the security, I use it cause i want to access my services when I am far from home.

Again, it appears that you will have to chose whether to use the VPN or ChatGPT.

You should be able to use ChatGPT on your iPhone if you turn off WiFi and use cellular data.
