Dolphin journal entries while vpn connection is established

When I am connected to a VPN Dolphin starts with a long delay only. After it
has started it shows the latest folders (this is how I did configure it).
But: Even local folders are empty. For example /mnt/localdata which is mounted
in fstab by this line: /dev/sda4 /mnt/drive_d auto
rw,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Establish a vpn connection ( in my case it's Cisco Secure Client 5.1.9.113)
2. Mount a local drive in fstab
3. Open Dolphin in KDE Plasma 6.3.6 in Debian 13 stable and try to access the
files.

OBSERVED RESULT
All folders are empty

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected to be able to access any local files and folders, except the mounted
network drives. 
I expected a delay of some seconds if dolphin had been started after being
closed with open network share.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Debian 13 / KDE
KDE Plasma Version:  6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have not much experience yet. Perhaps I have to do some further
configuration. Attached you will find the result of journalctl grep dolphin
