An error I receive could be attributed to a VPN, how do I deactivate it to test this?

I have an old mac (2015) and started getting this recurring error from various sites & have tried Safari and Chrome:

502 BAD GATEWAY

Certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

One possible cause is a VPN so I want to deactivate it to test this theory, I admit this is a last ditch attempt as I’m pretty convinced the Mac is just old and needs replaced.

Can I deactivate it without uninstalling it?
