GTA Online and Rockstar Social Club refuse to work without a VPN

[MaxIsJoe]

So I have been having this issue for over a week now where I cannot join GTA Online or open https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ without a VPN, for a while now I didn't mind playing with a VPN but the lag issues caused by using VPNs have been driving me nuts.

Most answers I always come across is usually along the lines of "change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1" but the problem is I already have my DNS set to 8.8.8.8 and I've tried 1.1.1.1 before and they don't work. I then tried every little weird solution out there and it none of them have worked.

 

So I came here for help as google seemed to always show this forum when asking about any issue and most issues are several months old at this point; so can anyone tell me what's going on?

 

Edit : Yes, I've called my ISP and they said there was nothing wrong on their end. I also tried using my phone's data plan to access the website and it worked but as soon as I switched on the wifi it didn't.

 

For reference; my internet speed is 1.4 down and 0.7 up and 12ms and when i ping the website it says this :
