VPN is blocking my EMails
I installed VPN for the first time yesterday so I'm new to this.
My main EMail account (@btinternet.com) on my android phone then started telling me to log in again because my credentials were wrong (I knew that they weren't and they were idential to those on my pc without VPN and this was fine.
Other EMail accounts (not @btinternet.com)on the phone were fine. I spent several hours struggling with this, including deleting the account and re-creating it twice, each time being told that my EMail or password were wrong, until I eventually realised that it might be a VPN issue. I turned VPN off and everything worked again.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to fix that will allow me to access my btinternet.com EMails when VPN is enabled?

I have had a similar problem with Virgin Media. When trying to send email or a reply to one I get message credentials not correct etc. shut VPN off and message went through. Not sure if it’s Virgin Media that don’t like knowing my details and location ( that why I had VPN ). Would also like to know if there’s a solution ? Gerry

Hello,
I think there's also a chance that the email provider has blacklisted the IP of our VPN server. The first step would be to change the server and connect to other countries and test to see if the issue can be reproduced or not.
Usually, this can be solved if you contact the e-mail provider and ask them to remove our IP from the blacklist. But first, make sure to test other servers as well.
