Check your proxy settings!
On the toolbar press the gear ⚙ icon, or use the shortcut Alt-o, or on the menu use Tools | Options.
Select the Connection icon on the left.
Scroll down to Proxy Server and verify that you have a Type entered (mine is Socks5, check with your VPN provider).
I'm not sure when this happened, but it's likely to be when I updated to version 4.4.0.
This is a terrible thing to happen, with DMCA so active I'm surprised I haven't gotten a notice yet. My Internet Provider (IP) once tried to shut down my account for downloading Blender (free software). Of course, they immediately became my ex-IP.
