Bail out of failed reaction?

I can connect to smtp.gmail.com on 465 fine from where I am (using openssl as you gave it), so it suggests either a temporary routing failure of your upstream or maybe incorrect network configuration on your network (incorrect netmask, firewall/filtering, etc.).

Ok, that got me thinking, turns out app password is being blocked when vpn is on, this hasbeen working for over a year. They really are making vpn's more difficult

seems google is blocking ipvanish maidenhead servers, I have moved back to london as they are still working.

That would do it. Glad you're sorted, although why do you want to use a VPN to connect to them?

So my ISP does not get a record of my internet interactions, also it stops them throttling my connection my upload speed goes from 1.3 to 5 when connected to a VPN all for $39 a year unlimited with 500gb cloud storage

Hi @Elcid do you recommend IPVanish?

[Elcid]

Yes the connection is very stable my 35 mb /10mb connection gets 30/1.2 normally from my ISP
when connected to VPN I get 20-28 /5mb. and connection is stable very rarely do I get VPN connection issues.
There help desk response time is pretty good to. The VPN is unlimited downloads and devices.
I have also got 80mb when downloading multiple files simultaneously
They also have split tunneling so you can bypass VPN for certain apps, and you can allow local lan access without VPN

I've been using IPVanish for a couple three years now. I have had success with it. Little pricey but seemingly more stable than others.

How is $39 a year pricey?

[gwp1]

@elcid You should review their pricing. $39 for the first year... future years it's ~$80. I've been with them a couple three years now.

@gwp1 I have been with them for 3 -4 years and never paid more than $4 a month. I have haggle every year and I get an offer every year, but this year I just used a different email address.
