Oh, and f5vpn brings its own Qt libraries along as it seems. They are stored in /opt/f5/vpn/lib
$ ls /opt/f5/vpn/lib
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libicui18n.so.55 libQt5Core.so.5 libQt5Gui.so.5 libQt5OpenGL.so.5 libQt5Sql.so.5 libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5 libQt5XcbQpa.so.5
libicudata.so.55 libicuuc.so.55 libQt5DBus.so.5 libQt5Network.so.5 libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 libQt5WebKit.so.5 libQt5Widgets.so.5 libssl.so.1.0.0- Lucas_ThompsonFeb 23, 2023

I wonder if this does have to do with routing, and maybe once the VPN is connected it interrupts the routing table: Can you try to create another VPN resource on the BIG-IP server that is set for split-tunnel but use a different small IP address range, like 10.0.0.0/24 and a lease-pool within that network. Maybe the connection will behave differently on a different routing subnet and/or not a full-routing tunnel.

Unfortunately the Big IP server is managed by another company, we are only granted access to the vpn to access their resources. f5vpn is started from the browser, and the log in workflow is protected by 2FA.
Just as a reminder, my account works on other similar machines on the same netwroks. I just thought about contacting one of their network adminstrators, do you think their server might be refusing to accept my machine? is there such a thing in Big IP, where a server refuses/drops/ignores attempted client connection because of some configuration client side?
