2 days says to me not DNS propagation
https://protonvpn.com/features/adblocker could be this or another one of Proton's "protection" features (okay scare quotes is a little harsh but I kinda start to roll my eyes with that type of stuff)
I connect by OpenVPN instead of the app, so I don't think I'm using that feature.
well you can rule out DNS issues by making sure it resolves properly using command line tools like dig. traceroute is hard to use on a lot of modern networks but a simple ping is still usable, or something like netcat or curl to rule out browser shenanigans
I have actually had some weird issues like this too, where I seemingly couldn't reach hexbear from my former VPN provider at one point, but it eventually recovered, so maybe bad peering/blocking due to abuse going on from either the VPS provider or the VPN provider? But it was very annoying to troubleshoot and not that big of a deal so I don't think I ever found a smoking gun
Is that why most of the hops come back as

the internet was not designed for NAT, and it was not designed for ICMP to be disabled lol
