@shadowhenry Hello! If you cannot connect to a specific site through VPN, but other sites work fine, it is most likely that the specific site blocks traffic originating from the VPN server. For example, some websites may block traffic from VPN providers, or have country related restrictions. This does not indicate a problem with this Docker image.
