Note: This article is only applies if you are connected to TotalAV’s VPN
Whilst we acknowledge it can be frustrating to our customers, if left, it would cause widespread disruption to our service and even the blacklisting of our servers. We’re not alone, most VPN providers block port 25.
Do not worry, you can still send and receive emails whilst connected to TotalAV and it’s extremely simple. Most, if not all email applications will allow you to use a different port. You can change your SMTP server settings to use port 465 or 587 and you’ll be able to send and receive emails again. It’ll only take a few minutes max.
