hide ip functionality randomly fails
- /e/OS version: 2.9-t-20250321478215-official-FP5
- Device model(s): FP5
- Impacted Application: internet connection
## The problem
Randomly when I try to change to `Hide IP Address` the functionality it crashes, sometimes it may stay a different status in the widget section (may say it's ON), while if open the Advanced Privacy it will show `REAL IP ADDRESS: Exposed` and the same in **Manage my Internet address** screen, sometimes it will try to connect and stay in connecting state for ever. Now when this mismatch happens I may have no internet connection at all or rarely it will show as hidden while it's not hidding.
The screenshoots are how the screen stays "for ever" if I try to connect  
To be able to resolve the connectivity issue I need to power off the phone and turn it back on, and sometimes not even this helps.
This has been happening since I installed e/os about 13 months ago
I have a `.zip` file for the bug report, please let me know which files you need me to upload
**Steps to reproduce**
it's random when I try to change the status from showing my IP to hide my IP, but mainly when I change from WiFi to 5G with the `Hide IP` functionality turned on (about 60% probability), and about 95% of probabilities of crashing if I choose Brazil in country of the `Internet activity must appear from`:
