When you say that your ISP won’t let you download a VPN, what does that mean?

If i want to download a VPN I have to download a "free" one on the app store to browse to the proper vpn site. They seem to be intercepting the SSL in some way

Mozilla vpn works (it's new) but the websites for proton, Nord etc. don't work. The actual service works fine

They may just be being blocked at the DNS level by your ISP. This is relatively easy to bypass by using one of the many other DNS services available like 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 (I'm sure everyone on HN will have opinions about which one is better). You can google to figure out how to change the default DNS used by your computer depending on your OS.
