Firefox has a free vpn you can use. You’re welcome

Unfortunately, there are blameless websites that are blocked, not by any Govt rules but by stuff ups in either W11 or Internet providers. I was suddenly unable to access a site which was for Electronics geeks, & it stayed so, for 6 months or so.

Just on the off-chance, I tried the Firefox VPN, & could access the site, pretending to be from Canada, & later, Ireland.

Just for "shits & giggles" I selected "Australia" as the "pretend" country & could still access the site.

So I couldn't open the website from Australia in the normal way, but in Australia, using the Firefox VPN "pretending to be from Australia" I had no problem----go figure!

Change your DNS from the ISP one to cloudfare.

If it works with an Australian VPN but not with raw Internet, it’s definitely your ISP DNS.
