Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? (lemm.ee)

It also connects to discord, supposed to be blocked since more than a week. No other device or browser I have connects to YouTube, they all get ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED, and only a fresh Vivaldi profile on the same pc also connects to Discord, everything else get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

I've tried disabling all extensions, it still connects. Checked its IP address and DNS server and they're the same as other devices/browsers. Any idea what could be going on?

Probably just uses a fallback DNS service when the "official one" fails

I'd recommend to not use ISP DNS in general.
