Steps to reproduce

1. Install Brave Nightly 1.60.6 with C117
2. Go to Settings > Dev options > Enable Brave VPN and relaunch Brave > Observe crash

Actual result

Brave crashes on C117 build when VPN is enabled. The same is happening on Fresh install or Upgrade from lower build with C116.

I tried the same with C114, C115 and C116 builds, and the crash is not happening there. The issue is only reproducible on a device with Androud 14 and not with Android 13.

Additional information

[bsclifton]

Should be fixed with brave/brave-core#19576

Need to retest on 1.60.10 or higher

[bsclifton]

Looks like this also needs brave/brave-core#20099 to be closed out - @deeppandya sharing build with @vlad-hoff

[kjozwiak]

Closing/Moving into 1.58.x as the above is fixed by brave/brave-core#19576 & brave/brave-core#20099 which was uplifted into 1.58.x via brave/brave-core#20101. @vlad-hoff assuming the above will be verified by default when running through #30673.
