Blocked as in sites reject traffic, or blocked as in can't connect to the VPN?
The former is on the far end and not uncommon. A lot of sites reject connections from known VPN endpoints because the same tunnels that provide privacy to you also provide privacy to attackers quit often. You just need to decide if the site is important enough to use without a cover.
If it's the latter, that would be a near end issue and would likely be your ISP or someone nearby that is looking to control your traffic.
It's the latter. Damn Virgin!

However, alternative solutions would be appreciated.
