When I reroute traffic over OpenVPN after some time profile pictures in push notifications stop showing. I tried both to use and to delete "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" both on server and on client, but with no luck. Other than that VPN seems to works perfectly. Is there anything I could do to make it work?

Who manages the VPN host?
Something to think about→Don't use VPN - GITHUB
There are two legitimate purposes for using VPN:
Any other use is risky, and can lead to problems like the one discussed in this thread. VPN disguises your location by making you appear to be somewhere else in the world. But you usually can’t control that “somewhere else”, and if it is in a location that an app isn’t approved for the app won’t work. Plus the fact that the provider of the VPN knows everything about you and your location, as well as what sites you access through the VPN. So you are totally dependent on the VPN provider’s honesty. As a start, if the VPN is free, DON’T USE IT. The provider has to make money somehow, and if you aren’t paying them then they are selling your private data to make money. But even those that charge can’t necessarily be trusted. For example, a few years ago Avast was caught selling user browsing data. They claim they have stopped doing so.
You don’t really need VPN when using public Wi-Fi, because all communications between your device and the servers it accesses are end-to-end encrypted.
If you want VPN for privacy about the sites you visit, that’s not a good choice as discussed; instead you should download and use the TOR browser.
With iOS 15.2 for iOS/iPadOS and MacOS Monterey 12.2 and later Apple now has iCloud+ Private Relay, which is like a super VPN, except that it doesn't spy on you→About iCloud Private Relay - Apple Support
Are you using a VPN to connect to a private corporate network? or for “extra security” when accessing the Internet?
the "extra security", yes xD
well, me
it's a VPS located in other country and I have full access to it
