you mean your network connection is dropping as soon as you start kodi? But the system will be still available?

I guess challenge is your VPN connection. probably you activate killswitch, which is blocking access to your device.

I think as soon as the VPN gets activated the network drops. I will test by deactivating the kill switch and report back.
