VPNMON Network Resolution Issue (could it be an errant kill switch issue?)

What could be going on here?

Previously, I ran an OVPN client on my router and administered it using VPNMON-R3. Then something happened that screwed all that up—not sure what, but I do know it happened after installing the latest version. That notwithstanding, I ultimately moved to (1) unmonitor that OVPN slot, (2) use asuswrt-Merlin’s web GUI to turn off the kill switch altogether, (3) then to shut off the OVPN client service altogether, (4) then to uninstall VPNMON-R3 altogether utilizing the script’s own uninstall function …

NOW…. How is it possible that none of the devices connected to my router can successfully access the WAN… BUT the NORD VPN app on my phone *CAN* establish a tunnel and I can surf the web using my home internet — not the cellular internet — BUT ONLY when the VPN app is is turned on??

Is this a kill switch issue? Could some code leftover somewhere be clamping my ability to access the WAN?
