To understand the problematic a little better: With selecting WebDAV Cryptomator is starting a local-only server, which is used to operate on an unlocked vault. The unlocked vault is integrated into the Windows Explorer with the net use command.

A VPN, a proxy server or security software can inhibit this on different ways (e.g. blocking access to localhost). A good overview from Windows is Redirecting.


Using WebDAV has some drawbacks, for example it is slow in general and the file size is restricted to 4GB in Windows (Windows: 4 GiB file size limit on virtual drive)
