Throttled connection to specific sites

mafioso

I have recently moved to a new place and the internet connection there is very weird.

I can load Google very fast (of course). I can load Facebook super fast as well. I could even watch Youtube 4K videos without a problem.

But I couldn't manage to load github, unity3D pages and a bunch of other pages. What could be the problem behind this?

I don't believe an ISP tries to block certain pages just like this. Or maybe I am wrong.

I live in France and I think the ISP is Free SAS. I don't know if the piece of info helps.

Do you think it might be a DNS problem? My ExpressVPN couldn't connect as well.

I don't know where else to put this thread so I leave it at General Discussion. Please redirect it to the correct place if that matters. Thank you very much.

It could be a DNS problem,an ISP problem or both.

You can easily change the DNS,

1.1.1.1 is a popular DNS address that you can use.
