When I try to open up any web page using my laptops WIFI, it fails to connect, and I get a "We can’t connect to the server at [website name here]." But when I turn on my VPN, the Internet works perfectly.
It has never done this before, and I've had the VPN for several months, so I fail to see how it can be an issue with the VPN.
The only thing I can think of it this has only started happening after I installed Bleachbit 2.0 - not sure if that means anything though...
