VPN Interception by cloudflare-dns ?

Hi All,
My workplace used Big-F5 VPN Client as its VPN solution, and until today, this was perfect.
After lunch, I am now receiving a security alert when trying to connect, that the security certificate name does not match the expectation.
It appears that DNS interception has happened / been turned on as the certificate was issued by cloudflare-dns.com rather than the expected certificate authority for the workplace VPN service.
Anyone else seeing this?
Can plusnet comment?
I'm on residential fibre extra with a static IP address.
Screenshot attached. DNS being resolved by 192.168.1.254 (plusnet one hub)
Thanks,
Mark

Brief follow up -
The Hub One reports connection time of under 24 minutes.
Broadband network IP address: | 80.229.139.xxx | |
Default gateway: | 195.166.130.254 | |
Primary DNS: | 212.159.6.9 | |
Secondary DNS: | 212.159.6.10 |
It appears that the DNS went through a period of not being able to resolve correctly but that this has settled down since:
C:\Users\username>nslookup <workplace vpn>
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.1.254
*** dsldevice.lan can't find <workplace vpn>: Non-existent domain
Now that the DNS appears to be working as expected, the VPN to workplace connection appears to be operating without the cloudflare-dns MITM/Hijack.
Thanks for any feedback on what this was!
Cheers,
Mark
