VPN clients break your internet
When you connect to a VPN, your system creates network routes that redirect all traffic through the tunnel. DNS settings are changed to use the VPN's servers.
The problem happens on disconnect. VPN clients often fail to clean up after themselves — stale routes remain, your default gateway disappears, and DNS still points to unreachable VPN servers.
The result? Your Wi-Fi shows connected, but nothing loads. No websites, no email, no apps. The only fix most people know is to restart their Mac.
