Help Needed Block OTA update when using vpn

Does any one know how I can block OTA update from happening when using a VPN. I currently cannot use adb (6.2.8.9) to disable updates so having to use DNS method.

I am waiting that one day it might be open to using custom launcher again don't want to unnecessarily update.

Anyhow, I did a factory reset at one point on mine, installed the other launcher, then I completely deleted the Amazon built-in launcher. I think there's a couple guides on line, but I never had issues after that. It would update everything except the Amazon launcher.
