Problems with VPN and Antivirus settings

Peter Pan

I've recently built a new Win11 pc with Antivirus Plus freshly installed. There're two problems which I wonder if there's anyone who can help. Thanks.

1. Split Tunneling of VPN not working. My goal's to use Edge with VPN and Chrome without VPN. I've added chrome.exe to Split Tunneling bypass setting. However, whenever VPN's connected, Edge works properly (via VPN) but Chrome loses all internet connection. I've followed the article "App, Streaming service or Email not working with Bitdefender VPN connected" as well as changing the DNS of Chrome to Google, disabling Adblock, etc. but nothing seems to work. (Win11's freshly installed so there's nothing special to affect firewall.) ("Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4" setting of Bitdefender network adapter doesn't enable DHCP. DNS are 198.18.0.1 and 198.18.0.2.)
2. Occasionally, the Advanced settings of Antivirus would not save or would change on its own.
