Most VPN providers don't use DHCP. OpenVPN emulates and hooks DHCP requests client-side to hand the OS the IP it got over the OpenVPN protocol in a more standard way (unless you use Layer 2 tunnels which VPN providers don't because it's useless for that use case). WireGuard doesn't support DHCP at all and it always comes from configuration.
