Issue abstract:

Detailed description: Guys,
So, ios 18 has been out a while and you have deployed at least 2 or 3 “bug updates” BUT your VPN is still incompatible with my ios mail that I draw from Xfinity (nee Comcast). I had hoped you would have fixed it by now but apparently either you are unaware of the incompatibility or have chosen to ignore it - both of which are totally uncharacteristic of your prior excellence.
Please look at this and fix it.

Product & version number:
Norton 360 Deluxe VPN
2.98.1.20241014.466

OS details: IOS18

What is the error message you are seeing?
Not receiving email when VPN is on

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:

You mention this has been happening since before the iOS 18 update.

What you are probably seeing is your email provider blocking known VPN IP addresses. They do this to protect your email account when they see a login attempt from a location they are not expecting to access your account. Some email providers will just ask for additional verification that it is you. Others just block access when using a VPN.

Try contacting Xfinity Support to see if they have any suggestions.

Thanks but I was not clear, the problem STARTED with IOS18, it was working fine before that.

Found this Apple Community thread on the issue you are seeing. iPhone won't connect to Comcast email aft… - Apple Community It seems there is an issue with the Apple mail program that started in iOS 18
