My friend is facing the same issue on Android 10. Also, I think logs should be accessible before vpn is setup so these issues can be diagnosed.

Hello,
Facing the same issue. I'm on Samsung Galaxy S22+ and Android 15 - can open config files without issue in Amnezia.
Mom's S23+ refuses to scan QR, load config files or load backups. It opens the file manager but clicking the .conf file does nothing. I tried giving it any possible permission but still, doesn't help.
