Messaging App and Orbot + VPN

Privacy Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using Proton VPN along with Orbot to secure my connections. I’ve configured Orbot to work with Signal and WhatsApp (as recommended by the app), and I’ve excluded Orbot from the VPN to avoid potential interference. My question is: could there be a conflict if both Proton VPN and Orbot are working with Signal and WhatsApp at the same time? Would it be better to exclude Signal and WhatsApp from the VPN too, so that only Orbot routes their data?

Thanks for your advice!
