The whole point of me getting a VPN was to bypass the blocking of torrent sites.
I’m currently using PIA and am usually connected to the internet via their local servers ( either in Australia or New Zealand).
I’m suddenly having difficulty connecting to some of the more prominent torrent sites/hosts.
Although I manage to perform the security verification on (say) ext.to I’ll encounter a ‘Web server is returning an unknown host error’ message.
Error code 520
If I connect to a Hong Kong server, though, I don’t encounter this error and manage to get through. I initially thought both sites were down but it is as if some local VPN blocking might be now going on.
Is that likely or possible?
this matches what i observe in my usage, but I’ve been having trouble convincing my family member this is the case.
do you happen to know any references/articles that discuss this in more detail, which i can use to improve my explanation?
