Using VPN disables ability to send email...

I am using an Xfinity router on my system and have no problems sending or receiving email IF my Bitdefender VPN is turned off. However, when VPN is on, I get the following "flags. Please advise.

The images you posted aren't visible. They all look like this:

It's probably because the images require moderator approval. That might take some time, from a few hours to a day or so. Alternatively, you could upload the images to a file sharing site and post links to them here, or post text instead of images.

Hello,

 

I’ve sent you a PM to gather more info.

One message says, “Online Status. The following alerts are from the IMAP server for “Comcast “: Temporarily blacklisted IP address - try again later” Attempts to try again give me the same response.

The other one says, Online Status Temporarily blacklisted IP Address - try again later

Both types of messages have a choice for cancel or try again. Neither works. When I turn off the Bitdefender VPN, the email works fine.

I am having the same problem. When Bitdefender is on, I cannot access imap.comcast.net. How can I fix this?

Using a VPN to send mail will always be chancey. The best of them are sometimes used to distribute spam and other forms of abuse, which results in the VPNs IPs being banned.

I opened a support ticket with BitDefender and they fixed something on their end so it is working now. If yours is not working, then I suggest the same approach.
