ISSUE: On my desktop WiFi connection, I am unable to access certain websites occasionally, then 10 minutes later, I can access that website again. However, when I enable my VPN at that moment, I have no issues accessing these websites. It's a very odd situation where it's difficult for me to diagnose the problem as it occurs randomly for a few minutes then I am able to access those sites again.
I am not sure where to begin when it comes to diagnosing this problem.
The affected websites are: redflagdeals.com, and reddit.com
Please advise!
Is this a wired or wireless connection issue?
