User level: Level 1 (22 points)Found a fix for the iOS 27 lag on my phone. It’s the VPN. Delete the VPN and check, mine seems to be working perfectly fine without the VPN, no connection drop, no calls on data drop, browsing and loading speeds have increased like before I installed iOS 27. Then reinstall the VPN and check again.

They are unnecessary and as you have discovered cause nothing but trouble.
That is the correct answer!
Apple even provides a Support Article with that recommendation when experiencing the common internet problems associated with VPN use.
There really is only one legitimate purpose for using a VPN and that is when required by a School/Work environment in order to "tunnel" in to a private server. In that case, they would also have a IT department with the specific VPN to use and its configuration.
Some users have fallen for the misconception that a VPN provides security for their device and internet activity due to their heavy marketing tactics, and in fact the opposite is true.
