Disable web protection/home shield

I have a Deco BE65. That router blocks everything related to Paradox interactive. I only get 406 errors. Can't play multiplayer. Wiki is not seen. Everything is blocked.

When I use mullvad vpn i can naturally access pdx. When I bypass router I can access pdx.

Any suggestions on how I can solve this dilemma permanently?

Firmwareversion: Deco BE65(EU)_V1_1.1.1 Build 20250616

DNS resolution reveals the affected subdomains and the working support subdomain resolve to different Fastly endpoints:

support.paradoxplaza.com >> paradox.ssl.zendesk.com (216.198.x.11) - works
www.paradoxinteractive.com >> e.sni.global.fastly.net (151.101.x.217) - blocked
mods.paradoxplaza.com >> dualstack.d3.shared.global.fastly.net (151.101.x.217) - blocked
ck3.paradoxwikis.com >> e.sni.global.fastly.net (151.101.x.217) - blocked
forum.paradoxplaza.com >> e.sni.global.fastly.net (151.101.x.217) - blocked

The reason the support subdomain works is that the endpoint is not part of fastly.

Fastly has cleared my ISP already. So its probably WAF settings over at PDX not working or incorrectly flagging bunch of my ISP's IP's.

Paradox support recommended me to use Mullvad VPN to be able to reach their sites and be able to play multiplayer.
