How to fix Internet disconnection issue on iMac Retina

I have iMac Retina 4k 21.5 inch 2017 with Ventura 13.6.4. Periodically it disconnects from the Internet, particular after 10 p.m.

Other MacBooks on the same wifi are running OK.

Attached in the Etrecheck report. It seems to be normal

First, there is no reason to ever install or run any 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus, VPN or security apps on your Mac.  This documents describe what you need to know and do in order to protect your Mac: Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community and Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support.  


Unless you're using a true VPN tunnel, such as between you and your employer's, school's or bank's servers, they provide false security from a privacy standpoint.  Read these two articles: Public VPN's are anything but private, Former Malware Distributor Kape Technologies Now Owns a Number of Public VPNs and a Collection of VPN “Review” Websites and Security Risks: The Dangers of Using Free VPNs (eccu.edu)


I recommend uninstalling the VPN according to the developer's instructions.
