Re: [Evolution] Evolution, VPNs and Google



It is a Gmail issue, not Evolution.  It will occur with any mail user agent software - and even with the Gmail web interface, though I don't think it blocks the latter.  Google is flagging the fact that your connection is coming from a different IP than "normal".  You can allow this access via the Gmail web i/f, but I don't know if multiple sources are stored.

What's the best practice for using Evolution across a VPN with GMail ?

It seems that every time I'm on a VPN  either incoming, outgoing or
both  operations fail.   Occaisionally,  I'll get
a Google notice that it blocked an attempted access, but it doesn't 
happen consistently.
Can you access the Gmail account via the web interface? If so, there is
no reason for Evolution to have any problems. Evo (and Gmail) aren't
even aware they are running on a VPN and there are no configuration
options for this. If this isn't working, the problem may be with your
VPN setup. (I've used ExpressVPN without any issues.)

Is this one of the cases, where configure Oauth2  would be of benefit?
No.
