Google Nest blocking new email servers?

TJ_TD — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 22:58:23 GMT

I hope someone can help me here, as I am at a complete loss! My small business email and website moved host last week. Since then I can’t access either, including webmail, on my laptop or phone.
Through a process of elimination it seems to be our Google nest that is causing an issue. We use it as a router with a Virgin Media 3.0 router on modem mode.
I can access my webmail on 4G on my phone, and on my laptop if I hotspot off my phone.
We turned the Virgin modem mode off so that was the router rather than the Nest and I could again access everything on my phone and laptop.
As soon as Nest is back to being the router I have the ‘cannot access servers’ message again and my email account reverts to offline.
Can anyone please help with this? Anything I can try in settings? I don’t know a huge deal about this so basic speak would be good please! Thank you in advance x

Hi @TJ_TD

Maybe the DNS is causing issues because you moved the website?
Did you try rebooting the Nest Wifi by using Restart network within the Google Home app?

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! We tried everything, including a full restart. I learnt all about DNS and double NAT?! I was getting desperate! Turns out the new host had blacklisted the Nest’s IP due to too many invalid log-ins?! I have no idea… but thank goodness, it’s now working.
