I'm new to openvpn. Just installed in the last few days. I didn't use my gmail account in any way while installing openvpn. However, I have now received 2 warnings from gmail stating that unauthorized attempts were made by some application to sign in to my account. Both warnings coincide with the times I have connected through openvpn. The warnings indicate the sign in attempts were made from opposite extremes of the US. Both warnings include the ip address assigned through openvpn. Any ideas of what is going on with this?

if you're using (open)vpn then your traffic is/might be redirected via the VPN to the vpn server before it goes out on the internet; gmail has a built-in warning system when you try to log in from an IP address that you did not use before. As you did not access your gmail from the VPN (server) IP gmail warns you about this. Add the IPs from your VPN server provider to the "allowed" range of IPs that you read your gmail from and the warning will go away.
