OVPN email problem

Hi has anyone experienced openVPN restricting email activity?

OpenVPN is a protocol, so I don’t think it has the ability to restrict email activity

However, a VPN provider IP address could be blocked by a certain provider

Can you give more detail on how you are using it - i.e which VPN provider, which email provider

I’m using NordVPN. IF I turn it off I can receive all emails banked up. The provider is Telstra Australia. As soon as I turn vpn back on the email stops until next turn off.

Hi Robbo,

I’m a NordVPN user myself and luckily haven’t encountered this issue. However, I do recall a friend experiencing something similar in the past. Have you had a chance to look at this article from NordVPN’s support page? Why can’t I send email messages?.

It might not solve the problem, but it could be worth a quick read

Hi, just changed server and emails now coming through. Thanks all for your help. Cheers
