Masking MAC address causing web browsing problems with VPN on

Options

edited August 2022 in VPN

I have used Bitdefender VPN since I had this software and have had no internet connection issues. Recently I downloaded Technitium MAC Address Changer, and when I mask my MAC address with VPN, I cannot connect to any websites. I can surf the web just fine with a masked MAC address and VPN off.

Is this an issue with Technitium and Bitdefender VPN, or is it an issue with MAC address maskers and VPNs in general? Any workaround to this?
