Samsung backup problems

So I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra won't run a backup when I'm connected to Wi-Fi, but it will complete the backup when using mobile data. I don't know if it's a problem with my Wi-Fi, but I'm not having any issues on YouTube or anything. I'm just really confused.

P.s Okay, update: I recently started using NordVPN with threat detection enabled. Out of curiosity, I disabled threat detection, and now the backup is working. I don't know why that would stop the backup, but it did.

Do you have two modems or router in home that would confuse phone into thinking its a hotspot

Is there a setting in the VPN threat protection to allow exceptions - like access to the Samsung cloud for backing up?  It makes sense that threat protection would sense outgoing backup data as a threat.  It does not know someone is not trying to copy your data.

I haven't seen any settings that allow it.

There must be a setting.  I'm reading the website for the features and it says it allows split tunneling which allows you to route certain traffic without the threat protection.  If you can't find the setting, I recommend that you contact the support team for the app and ask how to do it. "You choose which trusted apps can bypass VPN protection in your VPN appā€™s settings." https://nordvpn.com/features/split-tunneling/

I've went through split tunneling and filtering all android system applications and it still didn't work. I'll try and contact them

Unless I just bypass all non-internet apps to not go through the vpn but that's over 800 system applications and play store apps
