Issue Details
When AdGuard VPN is enabled, I don’t receive any SMS or MMS messages. As soon as the VPN is disconnected, backlog messages all come in at once.
Steps to reproduce:
- Disabled VPN (messages work)
- Tested AdGuard VPN on a friend’s iPhone (same issue)
- Added Apple iMessage IPv4 network to IPv4 allowlist (no change)
Expected Behavior
SMS/MMS messages to work as normal on WiFi or cellular.
Actual Behavior
Neither SMS or MMS messages get through without disabling VPN.
