About this question

I am trying to reach a website which AFAIK is DNS blocked in the country I am residing. The webpage I am trying to access is pinnacle.com. Given the understanding of how DNS works I have, to work around the problem, I use an online DNS lookup tool (dnsqueries.com). From an A record I found the IP address 192.230.70.134. I happily entered that into the browser, trying both :80 and :443, but got returned the following error: 192.230.70.134 - Resolving failed Error code 22 The proxy failed to resolve the site from the host name, if this site was recently added please allow a few minutes before trying again.

<...> Proxy IP 192.230.70.134 When using :443, Chrome also shows that the website's HTTPS Certificate is invalid, even though when inspecting it, it looks alright and it even says Certificate is OK.= I don't understand what sort of DNS resolution it is complaining about and why I could be facing such a problem.
