I do not use VPN at all, I have never used it. I have had IPhone’s for 9 years I never had to use VPN.

Remove the add-on VPN client, and test again.

If the network resumes correct operations, have a chat with the VPN app maintainers.

Or leave the VPN client uninstalled.

VPN is not an Apple product, best you ask the app developer on their website/forum for support.

Why are you using a VPN at all?

If you're not using it to connect to a secure private network, it serves no practical purpose. It will do more to compromise your security than to protect it.
