Hi,

I connect to several of my customers using Cisco AnyConnect VPN. And no problems.

Yesterday, a new customer (actually the customer is old but they decided to grant me access to their network via VPN) provided me with the URL, username, password, and DUO (for mobile phone) account. So, I connected, no problem.

But as soon as I connected, my Outlook started prompting me to enter password into my Gmail accounts (I actually have 3 Gmail account). And later I received a message from Google that "Google prevented a suspicious attempt to sign in to your account using your password." Clearly it has something to do with the new VPN connection. As soon as I disconnected from the VPN, the emails started to come in and the problem was gone.

Why do you think (or what is different between this VPN and other VPNs) and what prompted the issue with logging into Gmail accounts?

TIA
