Why Xender is Unable to Transfer Files with VPN
Xender is a good and very popular file sharing app, that allows users to transfer various file types very fast between various devices across different platforms. It makes smooth transfers of files between one platform to another.
However, this file transfer causes an issue when one or both devices using VPN, while sharing files. It is very frustrating when you are trying to share some important files quickly. Actually, VPN provides privacy and security by encrypting your internet connection. But sometimes, it interferes with file transfer also.
Unable to Transfer Files with VPN
Here are some common reasons why you might experience issues and how to resolve them:
VPN Interference
VPNs route your internet traffic through a safe server. This practice may sometimes cause problems in direct device to device connections which can also affect file transfer apps. So, to overcome this problem you have to disable VPN for some time until you transfer your file.
Speed is Reduced
VPNs sometimes slow down your internet speed due to some extra encryption and routing process. Which can lead to slower or failed file transfer. So, if a VPN is necessary to use then you should use high-speed servers.
Compatibility Issues
Some VPNs are not fully compatible with all file transfer applications, which may cause connection and transfer problems. So make sure that both devices use an updated version of VPN, so it is compatible with other file transfer apps.
Firewall Settings
VPNs may also affect the firewall of your device, which blocks the connection between devices to transfer files. So, you have to check your Firewell settings first before using the Xender app.
