Description

Windows PC running the server and client
Android phone running the client. Off network.

With VPN on (I've tried multiple vpn providers) and even with hbbr, hbbs, and the server.exe excluded via split tunneling I am unable to share my phone screen. It says unable to connect to relay. As soon as I disconnect the vpn, the phone shows connected. Even with VPN connected, from my phone I can rdp into the Windows PC so it's not completely blocked.

I am using my hostname as the relay server setting.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows server and Android client setup with the relay hostname, VPN, split tunneling, hbbr, hbbs, and server.exe described in the report. Done means the Android phone can connect and share its screen through the relay while the VPN remains enabled.
