Some info people might find useful. Some sites block you if they detect you connect via a VPN. Amazon Prime Video are open about it and tell you to stop using your VPN if you want to download video. They claim this is because copyright varies across borders and they have to obey the rules of your country. However, sometimes you get blocked by other sites but only see a failed connection with no explanation. This happened to me with my bank but in the end was a software fault in my router and my ISP installed a beta version and now all is fine. But, I also had a similar problem with my regular supermarket and the new software did not fix it. My VPN was connecting through another country but when I switched it to a my own country but still kept it active, my supermarket accepted my login.
