VPN not enabled at startup and problems with sending mail

Hello,
Since I installed VPN I noticed that VPN is NOT automatically enabled at startup of my PC.
I also encounter problems with sending (not receiving) emails: sending is blocked by email program.
Your help is welcome!

You have to start the VPN manually, it does not start with your computer. Your mail program might be blocking the VPN IP as many do because the IP might be blacklisted as it might have been used for illegal purposes before.
