Block my banking site, my cell phone provider, my amazon account, and my own website - all safe sites.

How to fix this other than turning it off?

    May I confirm with you that you need to turn off FREEDOME VPN to access the websites?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you and stay safe.

    Hi @Merlin22

    Thank you for your reply.

    Based on the screenshot you previously provided to me, it seems the website, https://www.ticketmaster.com has detected that you are using a VPN to access their website.

    And there are a few other reasons why this happened such as if you read more than 1000 words in 24 hour period. You may be temporarily blocked from visiting their website.

    For further information, you may go to this link Can’t Access Ticketmaster From Vpn? (nstec.com)

    Thank you and stay safe.

    Doesn't seem like this product is usable if it continually blocks the sites I need to visit.

    By your answer, you are telling me that another website doesn't like your VPN.
