Hello there,
You should be able to reach any of the mentioned websites without problems.
What you can do is to do a curl request via ssh and then check for the status code. This will help you to determine if the resource is temporarily unavailable or if the access is forbidden.
OpenVPN is also available as a one-click application from our marketplace.
