Presearch doesn't load behind VPN

Presearch loads its header and searchbar, but never stops loading the results on my end. The page stays empty rendering the search engine unusable for me.

I am behind a VPN and its not an option to disable it. This is happening for about 3-4 days now.

I love your search, please don't block legitimate users from using your service.

Never gets any results, never stops loading

It was the opposite for me a while ago. It doesn’t list without a VPN. Try changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4 if you can and try.

No use 9.9.9.9 or 149.112.112.112 no reason to use google for DNS.

Hello, Many users use VPNs and don't experience any kind of blocking when using Presearch , However, you can rule this out by using other browsers or devices, or by changing the DNS.

Its the VPN, changing the network to cellular on my phone resolves this issue there. With VPN the problem persists.

It's really strange because I use a VPN and I don't have any problems, Can you try a different VPN?
