[Rattor]

I have a home server set up with my Calibre library. I have a VPN set up that allows me to put my phone on my home network even when I'm out and about. When I try to connect to my content server or as a wireless device to my Calibre server, Calibre Companion says that WiFi must be enabled in order to connect.

My question is: why? Is there a reason for this requirement? Is there a way around it? I definitely do not need it for my particular use case. I can even be connected to a different WiFi network and it will allow me to connect to the content server. It seems arbitrary to require a WiFi connection to connect when I can do everything I need to via VPN on a cell data connection. I can even VPN home, launch an RDP window into my server, launch Calibre, manipulate the databases and move books around to Dropbox or directly download them, but CC wants me to have an active WiFi connection.

Any thoughts or ideas?
