Hello, I noticed that by enabling on the phone the option "Always stay connected to a VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" breaks the Google Store, updating apps, and signing in to apps with Google Account. I keep getting a message that we can't connect to Google's servers. I tested both apps, cloudflare one agent and 1.1.1.1+warp, on both of them, the same effect, blocking access to Google. I'm not sure if this is a cloudflare issue, so I'm asking someone else to verify this issue.

I think it is intended because, well, it blocks everything without VPN even if you disable this.

Might be Google trying to be „smart“ and bypassing vpn settings for themselves and then getting blocked
Purely speculation but I wouldn’t be surprised

Okay, I tested with a friend on another phone and we tested Wireguard on VPS and proton VPN and Google is not blocked, so I can confirm that this is only happening with cloudflare zero tier. Maybe someone from Cloudflare can confirm this?
