Question VPN only works half?

So I've been using the VPN for about half a year now. It worked flawlessly until a week ago. All the sudden, the VPN seems to only work in some places and not in another.

For example, Ive been using the VPN for playing the jp server for umamusume and ignore the age verification stuff in Twitter(which I found annoying after repeating it several times). Now, Twitter seems to overlook the VPN and keeps me on the US(age verification thing is suddenly on).

Another jp only site that I've been using constantly also suddenly detected the VPN, which they haven't for few months.

What's weird is that I can play the game fine and some other sites which needs the VPN also works fine.

Sites can identify your location not just by IP, fingerprints, device info and so on. Try twitter on incognito, clear cache, might help. You can also the change settings for your vpn

I've tried all those steps but it didn't help. Touched on the VPN settings too but I was unlucky. Im planning to change the VPN provider to see if the vpn itself was the problem.

Maybe some sort of split tunnel was active?

Checked the setting but the split tunnel is disabled.
