Nothing helped and only Anki is affected. (I can use the browser and other applications without issues.) It’s not transient either because it’s been like that for a whole week.
Did I miss something? What can I do to troubleshoot this further?
Please check that you haven’t accidentally entered something into the ‘self-hosted sync server’ field in the preferences>syncing screen, and that you haven’t denied AnkiMobile access to mobile data in the iOS settings if you’re trying to sync on 4G. Did you try disabling the VPN and then rebooting?
