Resolved: Unable to access PlayStore and Weather won't update either - both claim to have no internet connection (lemmy.cafe)

I've been unable to access the PlayStore all day. It tells me I'm not signed in even though my profile picture is visible in the top right corner. When I tap "Try again" nothing happens.

When I tap on my profile picture and then select "Google Account" it tells me I'm not connected to the internet (see screenshot). But I am, using my browser for example works just fine.

The only other app I've noticed having problems is Weather, which is unable to refresh and also tells me there's no internet connection.

Any idea what's going on here?

It's DuckDuckGo's VPN. I switched it off, suddenly PlayStore worked.fine again, switched it back on, PlayStore still works. Huh.

You need to whitelist system components like play store and play services. Since, I guess you use it for adblocking.

It's because when it's on you're using their DNS servers, right now Google's IP is cached so it still resolves. Provably if you restarted the device it would stop loading again.
