Description

- [x] I am running Adguard VPN version 2.1.2(54) without the Adguard Adblocker app
- [x] I checked the [documentation](https://kb.adguard.com/en/vpn/solving-problems) and found no answer
- [x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

### Issue Details

- **AdGuard VPN version:**
- 2.1.2(54)
- **VPN mode:**
- Local VPN
- **Device:**
- Google Pixel 3
- **Operating system and version:**
- Graphene OS Android 12
- **Root access:**
- No

### Expected Behavior

When using the 'apps settings' tab to "make apps work without the VPN" and also excluding apps from the VPN with the 'low level settings' via UID's; I expect that those apps I excluded will connect to the internet normally, without using the VPN tunnel, even when 'block connections without VPN' is on.

### Actual Behavior

Those excluded apps can't access the internet until I disable the 'block connections without VPN' setting. But when 'block connections without VPN' is disabled and adguard is disconnected, all apps are now accessing the internet without the VPN (exposing my IP). I don't want this, I expect that when Adguard VPN is disconnected and 'block connections without VPN' is on, that no apps can connect to the internet.
I want some apps to only ever be able to use the VPN connection and those I exclude to access the internet normally.

### Additional Information

This is causing IP leaks.
Ideal scenario:
'block connections without VPN' is always on.
Adguard VPN connected: Included apps use VPN server and exluded apps can connect to internet without the VPN.
Adguard VPN is disconnected: No apps can access the internet.

Should VPN servers be down for some reason, there could be a setting to turn off the VPN entirely, for users who need connectivity.
