Or, if you dont wanna read that, here's a visualization of happened on you:
With your puritan ISP:
Your browser: "I want to visit kemono.party"
DNS server: "Here's the IP address: 123.45.67.89"
Your browser: *starts connecting to 123.45.67.89*
Your ISP: *sees connection attempt to blocked site* "NOPE!" *sends TCP RST packet*
Your browser: *connection forcibly closed* "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET"
With VPN:
Your browser: "I wanna visit kemono.party"
Your VPN client: "Got it! Encrypting your request and sending it to my secure server"
* All traffic now goes through encrypted VPN tunnel *
Your ISP: "Hmm, user is connecting to some VPN server at 98.76.54.32… but I can't see what they're actually doing inside that encrypted tunnel. Whatever, it's just encrypted traffic."
