BedrockStation (Pro)
It allows you to use an VPN to connect to the server as long as the VPN does not take control of the local network.
This application can work also with servers and applications that implement the Minecraft Bedrock protocol and even other UDP protocols.
It will proxy your UDP connections and expose them in the local network without getting in your way about how you want to use it.
This is a paid free software app, but it is provided for free to Fdroid users by its author to thank free software supporters.
A demo version that is also free software but free to use also exists, you can promote it to your friends that only use the evil store I won't name here if they do not want to pay for the app.
Both versions are made from the same source code.
