EDIT: Contacted linode about it, and they were able to confirm that Blizzard was blocking traffic, and worked with resolving it with them. Just tested again, and it’s working great, I can route web traffic through the vpn and still run overwatch/bnet (with voice chat working.)

Hey, I’m having a problem where I cannot login to Bnet when using my Wireguard VPN hosted on a linode server (NJ datacenter).
If I launch the bnet app, it won’t login, nor will any of the videos/promos about the game show up.
If I launch games like WoW or Overwatch and try to login, they’ll get stuck at “Connecting”.
If I set the VPN to only send web traffic and dns through the vpn (tcp 80, 443, udp 53, 80, 443) and the rest through my home internet, I’m able to login to bnet, but none of the videos/promos on the game pages load. I’m able to login to the games fine, but voice chat fails to work on Overwatch till I stop sending tcp443 through the vpn.
I am also not able to load the US Battlenet Looking glass site, it just says “took too long to respond” until I turn off my vpn. Interestingly the Chinese Battlenet Looking glass does load fine with the vpn running.
Traceroute while vpn is running:
