Access being blocked to VPN websites (Nord, Express etc.) - Anyway to bypass it without using my VPN?

[BradL1234]

I have had NordVPN for a over a year now and I have never really had any problems with it, but one problem I have always had is my ISP blocks every VPN website I try to access. So the only way I can use the website is when my VPN is enabled. I wouldn't have had a problem with this as I know ISP's can be a**holes but last week I had an issue with my VPN not working and since I couldn't connect to a server, I couldn't contact support.

 

Is there anything you guys would recommend? The only thing I could think of is using TOR but I have never really liked using that for a lot of different reasons.

 

Cheers

Edit 2:  DNS Server options:  4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.4, 8.8.8.8 (Others exist if you google enough)

Hey dude,

 

Yes I believe I switched my DNS quite sometime ago from the one that was default. Can't remember the exact name but it was one the main man Linus made a video on. Made browsing a lot faster.

 

EDIT: I believe it was Cloudflare I changed it to

what are your current DNS Settings at?

 

go to CMD -->  ipconfig /all

Well then, that is quite surprising... I remember changing my DNS settings on my Router login a long time ago when I saw the video Linus made on cloudflare.

 

Turns out they changed back to default ones Virgin Media provides.

 

So quoting my previous comment... "ISP's are assholes"

 

EDIT: Thanks my dude. I should have checked in the first place. GG to my brain!
