I've recently been having issues with my phone where I can't access certain apps like Discord and Twitch unless I turn on my VPN. It's becoming very inconvenient, and I'm not sure why this is happening. Is there a way to fix this without always relying on a VPN?

Make sure you check your phone's VPN settings to see if some features are enabled that shouldn't be. Try disabling any checks that might affect app connections. If you’re still having trouble, keep an eye on any settings that could be related to network restrictions.
If changing the DNS doesn't work, it's worth checking if your country has any restrictions on those sites, especially since you mentioned Twitch has been problematic for a while. Sometimes local policies can affect access without you realizing it.
It sounds like there might be some DNS settings causing issues on your phone. You can try manually entering Google's DNS addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in your network settings. Sometimes routers block certain apps, so this might help you regain access! Also, are you in a region where these apps might be restricted?
