Description
Describe the bug
I'm experiencing tracking protection errors where whenever I try to disable the VPN the key icon that appears near my save battery mute volume and WiFi system wouldn't disappear by itself.
How to Reproduce
Open duckduckgo
Double check tracking protection feature for any errors.
Expected behavior
Improve tracking protection feature without disturbing client connections that may bother YouTube, discord or other social media apps that interacts with duckduckgo.
Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.156.6
- Device: SM-A215U
- OS: One UI Core Version 4.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the DuckDuckGo Android app using version 5.156.6 on a SM-A215U running One UI Core 4.1. Check the tracking protection behavior when disabling the VPN, including whether the key icon remains and whether YouTube, Discord, or other connections are affected. Done means the reported behavior is reproduced, its cause is identified, and tracking protection no longer leaves the icon or disrupts client connections.
