I'd talk to your ISP, sounds like you have some kind of routing issue. Essentially a VPN just changes the 'hop' in your routing.

I have an interesting problem. I cannot connect to Rainbow Six Siege servers without VPN. This issue started recently and I am 100% sure that it is isn't because of some changed settings in my PC or router. I can connect to other online video game servers but this specific game keeps giving me errors when I do not use a VPN.

I researched Reddit and Rainbow Six Siege forums, and people recently seem to be experiencing connectivity issues but I am still not sure it is related to Rainbow Six Siege.

What sort of a problem (either on game servers or on my PC) can cause this type of problem any why is a VPN fixing it?

No. Why? I am 100% sure that I am not banned. If I was banned, it would say "you are banned by battleye" or something like that. I didn't cheat. Also, Rainbow Six Siege never bans IP address because IP addresses are assigned dynamically.

I acknowledge that this thread is old but it's worth sharing this info with you. I have talked with my ISP and several other people from my area, and they all confirmed that they have been experiencing the same problem and my ISP said there were some routing problems. The same problem also occured with CS GO, and I had to use a VPN to solve the issue. The same problem occurred several times more after its first occurrence but recently there is no issue. If you experience something similar, talk to the people from your region and ISP and get assistance.
