Why would that explain the failure to answer DNS queries?  DNS servers are supposed to answer queries from everyone.  I've never heard of failing to do so.  FWIW, I just tried asking ns1.protonmail.ch about mail.protonmail.ch, and it was happy to answer me (to my random Comcast client addresses, IPv4 and IPv6 both work).
