Cannot Access Lichess due to DNS Server Error

With my broadband connection at home (in Hong Kong), I'm unable to access Lichess.org on my laptop. The page says the server IP address could not be found. The windows diagnostic says my DNS server might be unavailable.

I switched to the Google public DNS (as recommended in another thread on these forums). While I could access Lichess, the opening explorer would not work, invariably saying that it was temporarily unavailable.

If I use my mobile phone as a hotspot for my laptop, everything works as normal on my laptop. Not a perfect fix as my data plan is limited, and the connection patchy.

This problem only appeared yesterday. Would anybody know what the solution might be? Thanks!
