Why are some of my apps not able to access the internet?

[Android Central Question]

There are some apps and games on my phone like Spotify,discord or games like free fire and brawl stars which are unable to access the internet. And many more apps don't access internet downloaded from play store.
But when I connect VPN all the apps start working. Every apps starts working
My device name is Realme narzo 20 and I am running latest software update as well.

Try going to settings>connection>where your VPN is did it change anything like Private DNS ?

Sounds like your VPN set all internet access thru itself. Check the VPN's whitelist and remove all the apps that can have regular access.
