According to the Little Snitch app "Google Chrome Helper.app" can connect to my real ISP IP address even when Im connected to my VPN. Will blocking it mess up the Chrome browser? Does anybody know a way to fix this? Is it really a big deal? Im using Proton VPN btw if thats any help.

Chrome connects to Google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, so I use Little Snitch to block Chrome from connecting to port 53 (DNS), forcing it to use the DNS servers I set through Tunnelblick.
