Amazon.com blocking VPNs. What can we do?

Question

On 2020-06-23, DNS queries for www.amazon.com through my VPN provider started returning 10.200.0.1. The VPN provider confirmed that Amazon is intentionally blocking all of their customers.Many people use VPNs to protect their privacy. Privacy is an important part of personal liberties. Privacy improves quality of life. Current VPN software does not make it easy to bypass the VPN for just one website. Now people will have to choose between using Amazon and protecting their privacy. Amazon is harming society.What can we do?1. Call and cancel your Prime membership and other subscriptions. Explain the reason for cancelling. Walmart.com is a good alternative.2. Move off of AWS. Digital Ocean is a good alternative. What is a good alternative to AWS domain registration?

If I'm following, the DNS query to your VPN providers recursive resolver is getting a 10.x.x.x IP address. So the Amazon authoritative DNS server must be generating different responses based on which DNS resolver you use.
From a purely technical perspective, I'd think DNS over HTTPS (DoH) would let you bypass the VPN providers DNS server and use 1.1.1.1 or something.
How many VPN providers are affected? Which VPN provider were you using?

I closed my account (opened in 1999) when they tried to fingerprint me with a 1-pixel image a couple of months ago, arseholes. Thanks to Firefox this attempt was detected and blocked.
