AntonB: doesn't seem to be any issue with the http,
JMich: I didn't ask about http. I asked about secure http, aka https. While a proper vpn should properly parse https, I'm not sure of what VPN you are using, or how it parses the https portions.
Can you download a game through the browser properly, or do you get 403s?
never had an issue with https either tbh, I use the https everywhere plugin in my main browser and everything else works fine. Tested this in other browsers as well ofc, but not sure how to test this in particular properly tbh. I use CyberGhost btw.
Also games are downloading just fine
