I recently moved to the US and was using AT&T and Xfinity for internet. I needed to access some websites that are geoblocked from the US, and so, I needed to use a VPN.
However, when I turn on the VPN, the internet seems to be blocked.
How do you guys bypass this?
I already went to youtube and found few 3yo videos about solving this but it seems it has become outdated.
Some new update on Chrome is messing with vpns. Just use modzilla Firefox with your vpn. It will work. Do private Brower also. It helps.
when I turn on the VPN, the internet seems to be blocked.
I’ve used many major VPNs without issue. I’ve used some others and got blocked. Try a “better” VPN. Any of the major US VPNs should work fine.
If I had to guess, your DNS is set to your ISP DNS servers, and when you connect to your VPN, you can no longer use those servers. Try replacing them with public DNS servers like Cloudflares or Googles.
You can also try “Orbot” (Tor-as-proxy) VPN app…
I can’t find a way to post a question here? Where is the + tab?
Can you list which restricted content you want to access? There may be some VPNs that exist that specifically target access to this content
Even better, use “DuckDuckGo” browser app with it’s App Tracking Protection.
In “Firefox” I mandatory use “uBlock Origin” add-on…
