Yeah, it’s a common issue. The browser needs to be launched with the global proxy because it doesn’t always sync with the system settings.
I’d recommend checking out your VPN’s settings—some VPNs let you configure split tunneling, so you can choose which apps use the VPN and which don’t. That way, you can set your browser to always use the VPN without messing with the proxy settings manually.
If your VPN doesn’t have that feature, you could try using a different browser that plays nicer with system proxies, like Brave or Opera.
