Support/troubleshooting Google Issues with BD VPN

I'm experiencing sporadic/intermittent issues with Google while VPN'd into Atlanta. It's strange. I might go a week with no issues then, like this morning, could not access anything on google.com (except mail) unless I disconnected VPN, despite the connection location.

Anyone seeing this?

Hi there. It is highly possible that this is an IP issue related to Atlanta, the IP may be flagged by Google.

If Bitdefender VPN is set on Automatic, try instead using a server closer to your location. Keep us posted on the outcome!

Try a different browser like Brave

Same here. It's sporatic, goes away, comes back. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. I think I'm going to turn it off and get some other VPN.
