Can only use Wi-Fi with VPN - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having difficulties using Wi-Fi without a VPN. Up until yesterday my Wi-Fi was working brilliantly. Instant page loads, fast download speed.
I flashed Exodus R6 nightly build 2 days and had no problems. There was no lag in the internet, working well. I decided to hop onto my VPN and used it for a few hours. Then my internet went to ****.
I turned off the VPN. It was taking a long time to load pages, pages where timing out. So I decided to flash the latest build. Cleared dalvik cache 3 times after installing the latest build. Reset Wi-Fi, nice and fresh build. Restored my apps and I still had the problem. The problem is still existent.
I can still use my mobile data without any VPN. I've also ran a virus scan with Avast which turned up clean. Tried multiple web browsers and apps that use the internet and still no luck.
Suggestions?

Using PrivateInternetAccess as my VPN. Other computers work just fine with the wireless.

[Q] Wifi half not working

I have a moto g 8gb. It is rooted and i am using infusion custom rom (and have been for the past month). Yesterday, my wifi started being faulty. It works perfectly (though a bit slowly) for internet browsing on google chrome, and i can send hangouts fine. However, when i try to download or update an app from google play store, it doesnot download. It tells me it is downloading but after about 5min it says could not download. I also cannot connect to the internet in any games eg. candy crush and my instagram feed does not refresh. This occurs at home and work so i know it is not the wifi provider. Also, when i switch to 3g the apps begin downloading straight away.
I have tried rebooting my phone many times. I have tried lots of wifi fixer apps none of them help. My phone thinks it is connected but only chrome and hangouts works. I tried a factory reset then a TWRP restore to no avail. PLEASE HELP

NoRoot Firewall Global Filters not working

I still can connect to the x'ed sites after trying * ports, *. in front, pre-filter, post-filter, WiFi, 3G, clearing browsing data, rebooting device, etc.
Google Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.4 KitKat btw. Blocking apps from Internet access works fine, but I can't do that to Chrome.
No I do not want to root my phone except as a last resort if ads data usage goes out of hand. Thank you.
Gave up and switched to LostNet. Although I lose configurability, and the annoying notifications had to be turned off manually, it actually works.

No internet connection even I have LTE/WiFi enabled

Recently I have ran into weird problem. My internet was working fine until yesterdays afternoon. I had LTE on and suddenly it stopped loading anything. Browser didnt load any page, fb didnt refresh et cetera. I tried to reboot system over and over but it also didn't work. And magically suddenly it started to work again. At this time internet is working, but I am afraid it will stop in the most anticipated moment. All above also applies to any WiFi network. What can I do? I have flat S6 running XstreoLite, based on COI9 newest firmware (modem is also COI9).

wifi problems after cos 13 update

Updated my phone yesterday, got OTA finally, did factory reset after that, wiped cache but I have two problems when i am on WiFi. First problem is slow loading every picture from various apps (facebook, messenger, instagram, 9gag...), it takes 10-20 seconds for pictures to show, I will include screenshot below.
This is what it looks like in google play, every time I open it takes 10-20 seconds to load all, my connection is not bad, i have 40mbps download and apps are downloading at that speed without problems, only photos loading is slow...
Second problem is that my notifications from messenger, gmail etc are late like few minutes or they appear when I turn screen on / unlock my phone.
Those problems are only on WiFi, not when I am on 3G/4G. I doubt its my router settings because everything was fine yesterday when I was on COS 12.1 and I was on it few months without any problem.
Does anyone had or have problems like this on COS 13 ?
Same thing here. Reverting to cos 12.1 restored speeds but I would like to see if a solution is available

I fixed it by entering IPv6 google public DNS in my router settings, alternative solution is using DNSet application.

Extreamly slow WIFI

I have a OnePlus 2, and when i connect to my wifi network (also tried in a few different places like coffee shops etc - same problem) the speed is around 0.5mbps (measured by speedtest app, browsing, downloading etc), with any other device in my home i get around 50mbps. The signal is great, it connects normally, everything ok except speed. BUT, sometimes (extreamly rare) when I connect to my wifi the speed is normal (50mbps) and it stays that way until I disconnect and connect again...then I drops to 0.5mbps.
Things I tried:
Tried using static ip, and any other setting available in wifi settings.
Tried wiping cache/dalvik, factory reset, format internal storage.
Tried downgrading to lollipop, also flashing custom roms cm13/cm14/exodus/hydrogenos and also custom kernels.
Nothing above solved my issue, the problem was always the same. It's not router releated, because I tried connecting to different ones, same thing. Any advice?
Thank you in advance!

There is very little on the device that would cause this because your data speed is more controlled by the network you're connected to than by the device.
More than likely, it's something running in the background tying up your data connection, probably google play services and the playstore checking for updates. If you're using Facebook app, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat or any of the other social media/texting apps, they also tie up your data connection scanning for notifications and updates.

I was thinking the same, but then I did a factory reset, 0 apps installed and same speed... I tried connecting to different wifi networks in different places...same speed :/
EDIT: and as I said above, in extreamly rare cases when I connect- it works...then if I disconnect and reconnect again I get the same speed issue (doesn't matter if I do this in an hour or 5 hours)

You Stoll have google play services and google playstore after the reset, if you'll read around a little while, you'll see that the updated google play services causes slow data, battery drain and heating issues because its constantly scanning network, sane for playstore.
