I don't think it's DNS for me. The report I get is a closed connection. It doesn't matter if I set it to use public DNS (like 1.1.1.1) or ISP or force secure DNS. Those servers don't seem to care. I used to have to use a different VPN.

Of course, I used to be blocked. Lately, I've had no trouble with the network. And I didn't change DNS (currently still secure DNS via ISP).

DNS isn't really secure, but neither would I rely on it being? Pretty much every site uses https with a certificate these days, and I'm not sending them any data if they don't (view-only content is fine). So I don't really care what your IP address is. If you have the private key then I suppose you are the one responsible for that website. That could also go wrong, but you try.
