Unable to update

[me_s]

The periodically question about proofing for an update ended since two days with the message about an error because of unable to contact the sandboxie-website.

What's wrong?
My german SB-Version: 5.14, 32 bit. I am contacted from germany with Windows 7 and since years this worked perfectly. And I changed nothing at my PC in the last moth except the periodically Windows-Defender update from Microsoft. But also turn off the Defender has no effect.

Hello me_s,

If you manually try to update the software, do you still get the same error?

Thank you for answering.

Bur I can told all works well again.
As cause I found a firewall blocking from my antivirus program Eset Smart Security. But it was strange: Since the last worked update proofing for sandboxie I didn't update or changed anything for this program. So why suddenly the firewall act in this way I cant't understand. But making a new rule in the firewall for the update-site of sandboxie and all works perfect like familar in the past.

Could it be that something was change on the side of Sandboxie so that the old firewall-rule for the update-adress couldn't work anymore?

me_s,

I would check your antivirus and see if there are any automatic updates setup.
Can you see when was it last updated? (or a history of updates?).

Regards.

No automatic update is configured.
And the last virus-database I did short after 5.11.2016 (that's the version of it).

me_s,

It is possible that the issue was a glitch caused by the updates made to the site to allow it to support https .
(The new beta updates via https now http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/view ... 59&t=23535).

The changes took place during that time frame:
