   Split tunnel firefox and the forum page works. Disabled split tunneling   
   and tried various Mullvad Vpn servers around the world. Norway servers   
   work London UK works, Sweden doesn't work, Mexico doesn't work,   
   Switzerland doesn't work, Canada Calgary and Vancouver work, Toronto and   
   Montreal don't work. Most of the US servers don't work, however I found   
   one in Los Angeles that does work, so I'm using that one. I'm going to   
   keep testing as I would like to find a server closer to my location, but   
   if I have to keep using Los Angeles I can live with that. I've have fiber   
   to my house thru AT&T so bandwith and latency are not an issue.
