How to use KDE Connect with a VPN on Android? (lemy.lol)

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?

I also have Rethink as a permenant VPN. I set KDE Connect to 'excluded' and it works for me.

Do you also have "Block connections without VPN" on like this?

VPN settings on Android for Rethink DNS, showing 2 toggles "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN", both enabled

No I don't, that does seem to conflict with exclude
