Is it normal that most websites don’t work on PC while VPN is activated?

VPN

I can access a few sites only while the VPN connection is activated, but most sites are not loading at all.

Even when trying YouTube, I can reach the site, but cannot play any videos on PC.

I use the VPN mostly only for qBittorent, which is working fine, but I have to disconnect the VPN and stop using qBittorrent, when I want to do other things. Worst of all qBittorrent refuses to connect again even after starting the VPN connection again, unless I restart the program.

Depending on your internet speed, you can still have torrents running, just setup the speed limit functions in qbt so you can flip that on while you do other things. But I have found the “Torrent” servers don’t always like to do everything, so you might need to connect back to a general server in CG app first
