VPN stopping some programs from accessing the internet, I think it’s a DNS problem?

Proton's split tunneling is set to include 2 apps only; qBittorrent and Megasync. But some programs, such as EA Desktop, cannot access the internet at all.

I get a message saying it couldn't connect to EA servers. I disconnect my VPN, and press reload and it connect. I reconnect and instantly it disconnects from the servers.

I'm being forced to stop my torrents seeding when I want to play College Football.
