Well, color me surprised when, with my Proton VPN enabled, I still faced a government-mandated MITM attack while attempting to visit 1337x.to

To be completely honest, I wasn’t aware this was possible when using a VPN. I’ve tried swapping to multiple servers within Proton, but all seem to be returning the same. Is there some commonly known workaround?

Probably because of your DNS configuration?

I’m thinking it must be a DNS configuration issue… Every server with ProtonVPN is showing the same, from the US to Netherlands to Switzerland. All of them.

Someone described to me in detail how your computer resolves hostnames.
