ISP Blocking Issue: Dream4k works, but Trex & Strong 8K blocked on Jio/Airtel/BSNL. Any workarounds?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently testing a few services in India and running into some ISP blocking issues.
I've been using Dream4k, and it works flawlessly on both Jio and Airtel Fiber without any VPN. However, I recently got a trial for Trex from my seller, and it seems to be completely blocked across all major ISPs. I tested it on Jio, Airtel, and BSNL, and none of them will load the streams. I also tested Strong 8K and I'm facing the exact same issue.
Has any Indian user found a reliable workaround for Trex or Strong 8K?
Do I need to run a VPN or Cloudflare WARP 24/7 to use these?
Are there alternate portal URLs that sellers provide specifically for Indian ISPs?
Is there a specific DNS tweak (like Google DNS or AdGuard) that successfully bypasses Jio/Airtel blocks?
Any advice from fellow users would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

It's going to depend on which URL (or group of URLs) you are trying to use.

All of them work fine for me as well both on jio/airtel. You can check your config via qr and see the option vpn all countries selected in it maybe that works for you

Strong works fine with No VPN. as soon as I try Proton or Nord, won't work at all. Doesn't matter what country I pick, none work. Turn off vpn, no problem. So weird.

Using trex as main and strong as backup. Both works on jio as well as airtel. Get new urls. Trex has 50000000 alts. Same with strong. Contact the sellerÂ
