How to use KDE Connect with a VPN on Android?

I've set up a phone with Rethink DNS as a permanent VPN, so nothing can come through, I tried putting KDE Connect in the Bypass Universal list, but it still fails to discover devices on the network and in turn it can't be discovered by others itself.I tried without VPN active and it all works, of course. Is it possible for the 2 to coexist? If so, what settings should I change?
