QuickShare, AirDrop and LocalSend all use WiFi, which can be a problem when using a VPN (it is for me).

Sounds like the problem is your vpn client if you cant chose what traffic goes into it

You can blame whatever or whoever you want, the problem remains.

I just changed the routing for local networks to ignore the VPN

It depends on the VPN client, doesn't it? I use iptables to route everything through a proxy except local host and proxied connections

Right but turning the VPN off invalidates the purpose of using a VPN. And even if it didn't, it's not convenient to disable on both devices and then turn it back on. The whole purpose of this software is convenience.
