big sur upgrade

I cannot get to the internet on safari after the big sur upgrade and my apple store app not working

Hi. The same happens to me. And I cannot believe Apple does not fix it. The whole thing is useless and you cannot reverse and go beck to Catalina. Terrible, terrible. Never experienced anything like it. What are they doing??!!
Since upgrading to Big Sur I've found that generally NONE of the Apple supplied apps can connect to the internet. For example, Safari, App Store, mail. However Chrome, outlook CAN!

Even more curious, when I turn on my VPN all the Apple apps can connect.
And yes, I do have wifi connectivity.
