I have used the internet of the ISP using wifi from a friend and after checking on ipleak.net [http://ipleak.net] it seems like it is working does being my own mobile data change the situation much . I am using tge wireguard protocol on a third party client rather than the official app of the vpn does wireguard protect against vpn blocks ? I have tried to find answers on reddit, ddg etc. but i think my question is too specific to get an answer or idk how to use search engine.

It sounds like you're in the USA, which is among the countries where commercial ISPs deliberately blocking VPN use is pretty much unheard-of, so that's probably why you're not finding much info about it.

It's pretty rare in the rest of the world as well, outside Asia and the Middle East. Here's a handy map: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/internet-censorship-map/

If you are in a country where they try to block all VPNs, using Wireguard probably isn't going to be enough in itself to avoid the problem any more, since it's justifiably become quite popular.
