This is a recent problem but when I try to open new tabs they don't load or take a very long time to load. I wind up shutting down my computer and resarting but sometimes that doesn't help. it seems to be getting worse. I do not use any other VPN but yours and Duckduckgo to search. I use a macbook air. Any suggestions? Thanks

And if you disable the builtin VPN functionality, do new tabs load again?

What about existing tabs, these do not seem affected any you can still use them just fine, and even navigate to the same sites that are not loading in new tabs in these, or these also stop loading any new content at that point?

If I disable the VPN new tabs do load again and existing tabs seem okay too. When I shut down and restart my computer the first few tabs may open okay but then it becomes an issue again. Thank you.

And if you disable VPN, verify tabs are loading again, and enable the VPN back — would it start getting new content now, or still stuck?

Interestingly, so far this morning everything seems to be loading.

But to try to answer your question, turning off VPN and the turning back on didn't seem to work. Only shutting down and re-starting the computer.
