"Dock > Chat" window constantly reconnects in OBS while using a VPN

Does anyone know why this keeps happening? It's only an issue while I'm connected to my VPN (which I need to keep me safe while streaming). I always connect to servers in my own country, but it doesn't matter. This window constantly reconnects every 30s or so and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Windows 10 and OBS are both up to date. The issue stops when I disconnect from my VPN.

Update: I'm using NordVPN and they have a feature called "split tunneling" that disables the VPN for specific programs... This did not work. The issue keeps happening, even after adding OBS to that list.
