Hi Colin,

I haven’t noticed any problems with the MEM site the last couple of days.

No problems for me either

Not quite sure whats happening.  If I diconnect from my VPN (IPVanish) it works okay and is very fast.  REconnect to VPN and fails.  This is on a new computer but not had this issue before.  Anyone any ideas.

Thanks,

Colin

MEM does not like VPNs, it has come up several times where their anti spam software can pick up an a VPN thinking it is coming from somewhere that has been the source of a lot of spam.

If you can get on the site search for VPN

Ive chnaged from the default automatic Protocol selection an changed to IKEv2 protocol and all appears to work ok.  Will see how it goes for a day or two.

Thanks

I do not understand why you use a VPN. These things only give problems.

I have worked in IT all my life till retired 7 years ago at 70.  I always had to use them to access customer sites for security and have done so ever since to protect/prevent access to my computers.  All data going via the VPN is encrypted.  This was the first time I have ever had a problem and by changing the the automatic protocol selection to a specific option the problem went away.

I always use the VPN on phone and tablet to prevent hackers accessing them  whilst out and connected to local wifi services
