Well, color me surprised when, with my Proton VPN enabled, I still faced a government-mandated MITM attack while attempting to visit 1337x.to

"AVVISO

To be completely honest, I wasn’t aware this was possible when using a VPN. I’ve tried swapping to multiple servers within Proton, but all seem to be returning the same. Is there some commonly known workaround?

    Try going through TOR to confirm its not a router software thing, if it works, you need another DNS (NextDNS is good) and then try again with Proton, if that doesn’t work connect over a proxy or TOR with VPN.
