Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:

I have a WireGuard server running on my router, and the WireGuard app is also installed on my phone. When I activate the connection, I can access all my home devices. However, when I launch the Home Assistant app, it loads for a while and then displays an error saying it cannot connect to the server. I assume this is because it is not trying to connect using the internal IP but rather the external URL. I couldn’t find any settings in the app to specify which address it should use when a VPN connection is active.

Internal/external URL switching in the app only uses your Wi-Fi information. If you always want to use the same (internal) URL, don't add another one.

Using VPN status to determine the URL to be used is an existing request in #4780 - but the HA app doesn't integrate with 3rd party apps like WireGuard.
