VPN / DNS inside VPN

- Edited
I experienced the same issue with Mullvad over WireGuard offical Android client and Mullvad could not nothing about it. As soon as as I switched to their client I never experienced these issues (over same WireGuard protocol) again. Not sure if this is what you're using, but I share your annoyance.
gonzalo VPN's (usually) have different connection types (i.e., UDP, TCP, Wireguard), and you said yours use Wireguard. To rule out Wireguard as being the problem, change your VPN's to UDP or TCP as a test. If the problem disappears then Wireguard would be the suspected cause and, conversely, if the problem remains then Wireguard is cleared.
Just an update;
Right after installing GOS, I installed RethinkDNS and had it running. After that point, I encountered many connection issues (e.g. slow speeds, connection interruptions, failed GOS updates and downloads even though the system was given full access via the firewall and DNS filter).
Yesterday, I disabled and uninstalled RethinkDNS and all of these problems disappeared. While I don't have any explicit proof, I believe that Rethink's using the VPN service while not actually being a VPN service (at least not yet) is causing issues. See [https://grapheneos.org/faq#ad-blocking-apps](https://) YMMV.
wxboss You can try disabling "block connections without VPN" while it's running, and see if that sorts things out for you.
matchboxbananasynergy It happens anyway, this doesn't happens because of the blocking connection of the vpn
I must add, i also installed rethink dns on an android box which has no gos and has android 7 and google play stuff as well and on that box the same thing was also happening.
I dont think its rethink dns per se however, because this is happening with other vpn and firewall apps too, as other people have reported.
I think the issue may not be a graphene issue, but an android issue.
The problem with the "Apps" app also giving errors on update is a separate issue and seems to occur on different vpn/firewall apps as people with different apps have reported the same.

Honestly, I feel much better having GOS installed on my phone and running smoothly vs. trying to figure out how to get this app working properly. This particular app isn't that important to me especially if it causes conflicts making my phone unreliable. But I do appreciate the suggestion.
Are you using Private DNS?
