HTC One No VPN Data issues

My HTC One Remix has been having issues the past several hours.

My internet connection (mobile data) seems to think I'm running through a VPN connection, although no VPN apps or settings are set up.

I do have a couple miscellaneous network admin and pentesting tools on my phone, but nothing that should be disrupting my connection like this. The only two VPN apps I have have on/off switches, both marked to off, and both apps are greenified in my system.

This issue only occurs when connected to mobile data, and it only seems to effect my internet browser (firefox). Other apps were working okay, such as my email and dropbox accounts.

Firefox has no internal settings to alter VPN connections, and I've made no changes to the app.

The only possibility I could think was causing it was SSHTunnel being installed without Root access being active (my phone is rooted, but I turn it on and off.)
I uninstalled SSHTunnel and the problem persisted.

Android version is 4.4.2 Kitkat, model is a Verizon HTC One Remix, or HTC One Mini 2. Not sure what other specs might be needed.


Here is a list of pentesting and network admin apps I currently have installed that could be causing the issue;
CSipSimple (a caller app, but a possibility)
zANTI
IP TOOLS
Lucky Patcher
Router Brute Force
MacChanger
Mac Address Ghost
Bugtroid Pro (toolbox)
PenTest Tools (toolbox)
Hackode (toolbox)

Other things that might cause the problem;
NoRoot Firewall
TunnelBear
ObscuraCam
WifiKill
AIDA64
OpenSignal
Ustream
