Random websites not loading.

[Firegod]

Evening. Bit of strange one, after some advice. From my main PC, when browsing just random websites:

I've tried FireFox (main browser) and also Edge. Same issue. I've tried with, and without, my VPN connected.

I have restarted my Router.

If I browse these sites via my mobile phone, on the same home WiFi (with and without my VPN) both sites load. So it seems isolated to my main PC. The main PC can ping the domain names.

I've just tried some netsh tcpip resets and winsock resets and rebooted. That hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Nevermind, I can't believe it, being an idiot. Even with VPN disabled it still has its various threat protection modules enabled. Tested each one and the sites load if I disable "Advanced Browsing Protection". Obviously something has been updated. I'll raise a ticket with the VPN provider.

Sounds like poor VPN service/software.

Yeah, looks like the app updated tonight as well on further investigation.
