I've switched to Electrum recently and I've had no problems with VPN so far. I'm running 1.9.8 on W7.

Have you tried different exit servers with your VPN? the only explanation I can think of is that the IP of the server your are going out through is banned by the electrum server for some past abuse... it is twisted, but I can't think of any other reason.

I'm running Ubuntu and using Electrum 1.9.8. When I have my VPN turned on, the Electrum wallet says "synchronizing" for a few minutes, then gives up trying and says, "not connected." I have tried connecting to several servers and even made sure they were online at http://electrum.qc.to/

Anyways, if I turn off the VPN, then Electrum connects and synchronizes immediately.

Any tips on how to get it to work or settings I can check?

Thank you!
