Thanks for the followup, sounds like ProtonVPN has issues with SplitTunnel and Java and not correctly treat Java in that situation. This is also the solution I would have recommended in first place to *bind* JDownloader to specific network interface in order to use your normal internet connection OR specifically the VPN connection. That way you can easily setup different connections, eg tell JD to use normal connection for RealDebrid but VPN for other websites. See the white/blacklist settings for each connection
