If you’re experiencing issues with Virgin Media emails being blocked while using a VPN, it’s likely because Virgin Media, like many other email providers, has blacklisted certain IP addresses commonly associated with VPN services, preventing emails from being sent or received when connected to a VPN; this is a security measure to combat spam and abuse.

If your Virgin Media email is being blocked while using a VPN, it’s likely because Virgin Media or the email service provider has blacklisted certain IP addresses associated with VPNs, meaning they identify your VPN connection and restrict access to your email as a security measure to prevent potential abuse or spam; this can happen even if you’re using a reputable VPN service.

In the US and many other countries, it’s not illegal to use a VPN for streaming. But using a VPN to steam content that violates copyright and piracy laws may violate the VPN provider’s terms of service. To prevent this, some streaming services like Netflix will restrict you to content that has global viewing rights if they detect VPN usage.
