Hello SG Land,
I've seen a few posts on the new Everything SG > sg - bugs / broken forum thread about needing to use a VPN to connect to live SG live streams. I've done a bit of reading and I found a potential troubleshooting step that may resolve this issue. This might affect your computer, router or both.
A problem is that we do not know the site name or its IP address that Suicide Girls uses for their streaming host.
This issue may be due to the Domain Name System (DNS) information stored in your computer. The DNS server converts a name that you type, such as suicidegirls.com into an IP address that your web browser uses to reach the website. Two example IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 (a popular router IP) or 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS.)
Most likely the computer is caching results or your Internet Service Provider's DNS information. This could 'confuse' how your web browser reaches website content.
What is a step that you do to resolve this problem where you need to use a VPN to visit SG live streams?

1. Manually configure your computer's DNS to another DNS server. Two popular options that are available are to use either Google or Cloudflare DNS servers.
I suggest that you fully read the information before making any changes. Please note that I cannot vouch for the site below to its accuracy and changing technology. I assume that there are other websites that can provide steps to configure DNS - use your favorite search engine!
I found steps to configure Cloudflare DNS for different devices at this website:

** For Google, you can use the same site, just substitute 8.8.8.8 in place of 1.1.1.1 **
Here are the DNS server IP addresses you'll need:
b. Google DNS:
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
c. Cloudflare DNS:
Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.1
2. After you've manually updated the DNS entries in your computer, you will need to restart the device.
