Google apps will not load without a VPN

We have a RBR750 mesh router with one satellite connected to a Comcast cable modem on windows 10.  We are unable to load any Google application without the use of a VPN.  This is especially impactful as our daughter's school issues laptops without a VPN.  The school uses exclusively google classroom which we cannot load at home.  Any thoughts on how to get google sites to load without a VPN?

 

Thanks for your thoughts

    I, also, have an RBR750 router and satellite on the current firmware release v7.2.6.31 and a Windows 11 laptop (no VPN)

    Please identify which Google Apps will not install and I will try them.

      I can get the Google website and GMail to load.  All the other apps from the Google home page fail to load without a VPN

        Are these all web sites, accessed with a browser, such as:

        https://gmail.com 

        https://google.com 

        https://maps.google.com 

        https://drive.google.com 

         

        All of these web sites open for me in Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera on Windows, when connected to both an RBR50 system and to an RBR750 system.

         

        I use the Android GMail 'app' on a smartphone. two different Android tablets, and one Chromebook.

         

        Can you post a screen shot of the error message that suggests a VPN is required?
