Stremio blocking issues. Insights and advice needed. (sh.itjust.works)

Hi Peeps.

Firstly I know I don't need a VPN for Real Debrid. I like to use them anyway, for extra safety.

Ok we have been using RD with a VPN for about 5 years, usually with Kodi etc. We moved to Stremio about a year or so ago and all was fine up until about a week ago when I kept on getting "Source Error" on my streaming box, which is a Thomson 270, a version of the Onn box.
If I change the VPN destination everything works again, but only for a few days.

Now here's the thing, if I use the same set up of Stremio RD and VPN on my android phone I get absolutely no blocks and no issues at all. The same goes for my PC.

So the issue is only happening on the Thomson.
Does anyone have any ideas why?

Seems like the solution is to just change VPN servers until you find one with an IP that isn't blocked. Otherwise, the Torrentio configuration page shows the following message, and Torrentio itself can't be used in Stremio:
