The PWA in question is https://angular.io. If I am connected with a VPN the app loads a blank page. If I turn off the VPN it connects without an issue. I tested by going directly to the site in Firefox while on the VPN and it worked fine.

I have also test https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and the same thing happens.

Does the same thing happen in a different browser?

Wondering if it is an issue with possible extra latency introduced via the VPN. Modern browsers seem to "give up" rather quickly when faced with very brief network loss or latency.

It looks like it was issues with the VPN connection. Once I rebooted the app itself forcing the connection to be recreated I was able to use the app. Thank you for your response though did lead me to dig some more.
