MT4 emails to Gmail while using Surfshark VPN

[Michael Vallone]

Hi Folks,

I use the Surfshark VPN and I'm trying to get MT4 to send emails to my Gmail account, but Surfshark seems to interfere and stops MT4 from connecting (error message is: Mail: login to smtp.gmail.com:465 failed).  I have added the MT4 app to the "whitelist" in Surfshark and it has made no difference.  When I turn off the Surfshark VPN, the emails go through without any problem.  Has anyone else found a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
