Blocked websites?
Hello,
Some websites are being blocked by my DNS and I can only access them using a VPN or a Proxy which is very annoying. I've ran all the troubleshooting issues already by the way.
Changed IP, cleared the DNS cache, cleares the internet cache, tried different browsers etc.
The website in question is https://www.sagepesticides.qc.ca/accueil It's a pesticides database and I kinda need it to work from home. How can I fix the issue and once again access it?

I understand you are looking for alternatives to using a VPN (which should not be annoying, there are free and relatively safe ones like ProtonVPN).
Inform Fizz
Chat with Fizz so they can add this domain in their DNS servers. It might take a while tho.
Use different DNS servers
If you use Fizz' router:
- It should be under in Basic ► DNS ► DNS Settings
- set it to manual
- set the IP values of your choice
- save.
DNS Server IP Values
- Here is a how-to per platform with security in mind with IP values from CloudFlare, Google,... https://privacy.net/set-up-cloudflare-dns-how-to
- Another set of DNS Server IPs (Private, Protected, Family) is from CIRA Canadian Shield: https://www.cira.ca/cybersecurity-services/canadian-shield#setupinstructions
Use Tor Browser

That website works fine for me.
I've not tested with the default Fizz DNS, as I'm using bridge mode, but I do use a protected DNS from CIRA.
You can get those DNS servers here:
https://www.cira.ca/cybersecurity-services/canadian-shield
The protected DNS IPs are:
- For IPv4 enter: 149.112.121.20 and 149.112.122.20
- For IPv6 enter: 2620:10A:80BB::20 and 2620:10A:80BC::20

Definitely use @Idefizz solution it will also protect you from any DNS issues the Fizz DNS servers might have and would cause outage. A few months back there was a big Videotron outage cause by their DNS going down and I didn`t even notice because I use one of the external ones (several actually). You could even select one DNS from one source and a second from another to have a fallback of one goes down (working in IT makes you paranoid hahaha).
