Not Able to access any site but YouTube
Hello... A couple of weeks ago I notice that I wasn't able to load any website other than YouTube and maybe a hand full of others. When I tried I would always get " This Site Can't be reached"....

Which Orbi router do you have, which VPN was on it?
Netgear's OpenVPN is for you to get into your router from the outside world. It doesn't handle outgoing traffic.
Also, which firmware version is on the router and which modem/gateway/optical network termination (ONT) connects the Netgear router to the Internet.
