X6 Nighthawk R8000

I just upgraded to the latest software (vV1.0.4.68_10.1.75 ) Now there are some websites that I could previously connect to that I can't connect to now. I think this just started happening with the software version just prior to this. However, I CAN connect to these sites using a VPN. I never used to have to do that? Any ideas? Is there any place I could download older versions of the software?

 

Thank you.

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Downloads.  (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
    Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".)  Find the kit(s).
    Download the kit(s) you want.  Read the "Release Notes" file for
    instructions.  (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
    especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
    When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
