My first intention to setup a PPTP VPN, via my Linksys E2000 router with DD-WRT firmware, was to use an iPhone app while being connected to my home network from anywhere I have an internet connection. That is working. However I am finding out I cannot check my emails using my iPhone while it is connected to the VPN. But if I am not connected, I can check emails. My VPN client is my iPhone 4 running on iOS 6.1.2.
What could be causing this? Here is my PPTP VPN setup within my router:
pptp server: enable
broadcast support: enable
force mppe encryption: enable
dns1: 208.67.222.222
dns2: 8.8.8.8
wins1: 208.67.222.222
server IP: 192.168.4.1
client ip: 192.168.4.10
Chap-secrets: username * password *

Other. Although these are enabled and set, it didn't make a difference if I shut them off or on. It works both ways. VPN passthrough: all 3 enabled ports forward: 1723 & 1792
