My home VPN stopped working after iOS27. The fix for me was to turn off Connectivity Assist (Settings > WiFi > Connectivity Assist). If you're still having an issue the give that a try.

I recommend contacting your VPN provider and asking them.

Thanks for replying - it's the inbuilt Apple VPS that no longer loads during boot, following iOS27 update. I'm aware that some other users have the same issue, and that some more will but may not yet realise it's happening. Extremely loathe to lose the feature.
