iOS 15 update getting stuck due to VPN app

As per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204:

"Some software updates aren't available wirelessly. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the update servers."

Sometimes the iOS 15 update is getting stuck due to the VPN in our app. Is this expected? Is there any other workaround solution than to switch off the VPN when iOS update is happening?

I have heard of this happening in the past. One potential workaround would be to put your device on a trusted network, turn off the VPN, and update the device from there.
