Unable to access websites through OpenVPN

gustavo2

I am using an X86_64 Linux Mint Distro ("petra") with openvpn version 2.3.2. I can establish a connection using the vpnbook-us1-tcp443.ovpn in the openvpn certificate bundle. As expected, my ip address is changed to 198.7.62.204. However, while connected I can only access the openvpn website, Google, and maybe one or two other sites using Firefox. Trying to access other sites gives me a "Server not found" error. For example, weather.com is a site I cannot access. For for kicks I tried typing the IP address for weather.com rather than the actual URL. What Firefox did was to change the IP address I typed into the address bar to "www.weather.com" and then gave me the "server not found" error. So somehow it knew that the IP address was for weather.com, but I still couldn't access the site. It seems I am the only person having this issue. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong, or does this server intentionally limit which websites I can visit?

Have a 2013 MacBook Pro running High Sierra, latest version.

Just downloaded and installed OpenVPN and Tunnelblick 3.7.4b.

Tried connecting using, one after the other, Connect vpnbook-us1-tcp80, vpnbook-us1-tcp443, vpnbook-us1-ucp53, and vpnbook-us1-ucp25000.

All failed; all returned - vpnbook-us1-tcp80: Authentication failed and The username and password were not accepted by the remote VPN server.

Tried changing the password and that failed for the same reasons.

Anyone have the time to point a new user in the right direction?

Many thanks
