I'm in India, and most government websites block VPN usage. I have to turn off my VPN to access them. There is no other way.
One more thing I have noticed is that when I using Mullvad's ad-blocking DNS (just the DNS, no VPN), many government sites do not load, as in the domain name does not get resolved.
Online anonymity is not appreciated by authorities, it would seem...
