VPN network issues

Hey there,

I have a wireguard vpn running on a Hetzner cloud vps which I mostly use to connect to my pis at home from remote locations.

However I had to notice that connecting via ssh to the pis does work, however the ssh session freezes after a few seconds when running a command with lots of output like htop or dmesg.
Same for http connections.

But for some reason it seems to work just fine on my iPhone which is connected to the same wifi and the same vpn.

Does anyone have an idea why I ran into this issue on MacBook?

    I think by default the iOS app will set a keepalive in the wireguard config, but the Mac app won't unless you specify it. Not sure if that's your fix, but the first thing that came to mind when you said it works on phone but not laptop.

    My Mac config has a 15s timeout as well
