Issues with VPN

I have been a long time user of the VPN, lately I have noticed something that is rather troublesome.  I am seeing more and more internet sites that are denying service or not working, and all I get is a white screen.  If I turn off the VPN the site works just fine.  2 examples of sites…Kroger.com and Lowes.com

Anyone else having this issue, and what have you done to eliminate this issue?  I am in the US and use only cities in the US.

I want to be private that is my main reason for using a VPN and if sites are denying service then what good is the VPN ?
