Hello, Rob,
I’m not much of a network engineer, so I’m expecting I’ll need to
explore more about what’s going on as I simultaneously learn. I’m
encouraged that you find it surprising that I’m having difficulty with
my VPN, having thought it was “normal.”
I’m using the PIA (Private Internet Access) tool. And, my problem is
indeed related to outbound traffic, with Mailmate telling me that it
can’t send messages, leaving them for re-attempts in my Draft folder.
I then turn on the VPN, close Mailmate, launch again, the mail goes out
without a hitch.
If there’s any more details I can provide to assist in trouble
shooting this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Peter

Peter,
Your issue is very unlikely to be Mailmate, but rather how your VPN is
configured. I have 3 VPN providers as I have to have specific ones for
specific clients.
Things that come to mind:
1, As people have already said DNS may be one issue. You already have
suggestions for this.
2. It may block outgoing traffic. You need to provide more information
on the VPN you use to know if this is an issue.
3. You may your VPN doing some odd routing, so that stuff that should
be internal is going externally. Unlikely but seen it happen.
Your comment that using a VPN and having expected issues is not what I
would expect at all. I would expect configuration issues with
Tunnelblck (which for some reason hates me, mind you I hate it), but
we use hardwired versions of that as well as Bitdefender and
Viscosity. I like Viscosity :)
More information helps here.

Thanks for the quick response. I’m not familiar with using this
DNS, but now have something to research.

You may want to try using a different DNS provider when tunneling
over VPN, like Google’s 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 for example. Some VPN
services have their own DNS as an option as well.

Good Day, All,
I am using a VPN tool on my Mac, and have experienced as might be
expected that emails do not flow with the VPN active. However, are
there any settings or workarounds that would still allow me to keep
my VPN turned on while exchanging emails?
Thanks...Peter
