Error code TS-0003
I got this problem yesterday for the first time and have read that if I turn off my vpn it will be sorted. My VPN is there for a reason so I this is not an acceptable solution. Further it is an unacceptable user experience to expect customers to have to add an extra set of steps before they can access their email. ALSO I use the same VPN on my mobile device (iPhone 11 Plus) so there is no consistency of experience.
When will BT fix this user epxerience please??

Re: Error code TS-0003
Same here and i totally agree. It's not up to BT to say what i can and cannot run on my PC. Is there a solution to this apart from disabling vpn?

Re: Error code TS-0003
You can use a VPN with BTMail. The problem arises when the VPN uses an IP address that has been blacklisted which can happen if the IP address has previously been used to send spam.

BT do not allow a VPN when, for example, attempting to watch BT Sport. The BT Sport App will not work outside of the UK, this includes all live and catch-up services. Many try to circumvent this by attempting to use a VPN leaving BT with the only option available, stop the use of VPNs.

That may be the case for BT Sport but it is not the case for BTMail.

Re: Error code TS-0003
That's not the case with my VPN it's just that it's particularly secure.
Bizarrely the problem disappeared for a while but has started again.
Time to get back on the phone to BT ... when I next have a spare hour....

Re: Error code TS-0003
I had the same experience using Express VPN but found that if I set my location to "India (via UK)" instead of "London" or "Docklands" etc. then I could log in to MyBT just fine - I know we shouldn't have to do this, but maybe toggle your location until you find one that works best

Re: Error code TS-0003
" You mustn't do the following, or allow anyone else to do them.
ii. Attempt to access the BT Sport app while connected to a VPN or Proxy. "
So there. They did not explain why they block/disallow VPN connections. I am cancelling my BT broadband and TV services mainly due to bad customer service and the way they put their own benefit before customer's.
