It’s great to hear you found the issue with your VPN! Many websites can indeed be affected by VPN connections, as they may block traffic from known VPN servers to adhere to regulations or prevent misuse.

When the VPN is active, some websites may deny access, load slowly, or not load at all. This is a common situation that many users encounter. If you want to use the VPN while also accessing certain websites, you might consider the following tips:

1. Switch Servers: Change to a different server in your VPN application. Different servers may not be blocked by the website you are trying to access.

2. Contact VPN Support: Reach out to your VPN's support team for help. They can suggest specific settings or servers that work with the websites you want to visit.

3. Split Tunneling: If your VPN supports it, use split tunneling. This allows you to choose which traffic goes through the VPN and which doesn't, enabling you to access specific sites without turning off the VPN entirely.

4. DNS Resolution Issues: Sometimes, the DNS server your VPN uses can cause issues. You may change the DNS settings manually to use a public DNS server like Google’s (8.8.8.8).

If you're frequently accessing these sites, it might be helpful to learn more about why certain sites block VPN access and understand how to best navigate these restrictions. You can read more about this here.
