I can only access the Dropbox website when using a VPN; why?

Hello, I have a big problem I can't have acess to your dropbox website. I have a brand new PC with windows 11. And in my old one its works, and to get acess in new one I need VPN. 

Error: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

    Something on your computer or network is likely blocking access to Dropbox. Disable any antivirus or firewall you're running and try again.

    Hey ssss2e32, sorry to see you're having trouble accessing our website.

     

    Are you able to test if you can access our website when connected to a different network?
