Neither VPNs or work profiles work with my Motorola g73, I keep getting error messages

This is common in Stock Android OS, creating Work profiles using Shelter is painful, I think due to the vendor unecessary twearks and additions which may look and feel good but increase the attack surface, and judging by all the crashes it indicates poorly written code

From Shelter's repo

Shelter is only as safe as the Work Profile implementation of the Android OS you are using

As for VPNs I'm not sure why wouldn't they work, g73 has Android 13 or 14, see what kind of error message you're getting and look it up, maybe ask here or on XDA developers forum
