 * During the final step of the SMTP and am receiving a 404 error. After completing
   the google setup, I enter the IDs and select “Allow plugin to send emails using
   your Google account”. And after clicking the Google account + Allow I am redirected
   to a 404 page.
 * I have contacted Bluehost and asked that WP Mail SMTP is whitelisted. I also 
   made sure the app is up to date, but at this time I’m still experiencing the 
   issue. Any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F404-error-during-final-authorization%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@starkdesignco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starkdesignco/),
 * Thanks for reaching out! According to the information you have provided, it appears
   that your server’s firewall or ModSecurity rules are blocking Google API requests,
   preventing you from creating the Google mailer connection on your site.
 * Could you please check the [Debug Events](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-debug-email-sending-issues-in-wp-mail-smtp/)
   section under **WP Mail SMTP -> Tools** to see if you can find more information
   about the issue? You can then provide that information to your hosting provider,
   and they should be able to resolve it for you.
 * I hope this helps. Thanks!
