Apologies if I've missed the obvious, but I think it's just a case of logically breaking down your problem step by step and seeing where your setup is wrong. Where is your problem; before the proxy, with the proxy, after it, or a mixture of these? Possible things you could try: host www or similar from your "freshclam" machine to check your DNS works OK to find your proxy. Can you ping your proxy from the "freshclam" machine to see if the route is OK? Have you tried host database.clamav.net from your freshclam machine, you should see something like: database.clamav.net CNAME db.local.clamav.net db.local.clamav.net CNAME db.europe.clamav.net db.europe.clamav.net A 217.154.108.81 db.europe.clamav.net A 62.210.153.201 db.europe.clamav.net A 80.69.67.3 db.europe.clamav.net A 152.66.249.132 db.europe.clamav.net A 193.1.219.100 db.europe.clamav.net A 193.138.115.108 db.europe.clamav.net A 193.225.86.3 db.europe.clamav.net A 195.70.36.141 db.europe.clamav.net A 212.31.160.239 db.europe.clamav.net A 213.184.16.3 db.europe.clamav.net A 213.203.254.4 Have you tried traceroute database.clamav.net from your freshclam machine? I get the following when I try this (but then we have a vpn to head office so this looks a bit odd to me): traceroute: Warning: database.clamav.net has multiple addresses; using 193.138.115.108 traceroute to db.europe.clamav.net (193.138.115.108), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 labgw-o (10.100.200.1) 0.364 ms 0.187 ms 0.099 ms 2 httpproxy-l (10.100.130.2) 0.375 ms 0.234 ms 0.183 ms 3 httpproxy-l (10.100.130.2) 0.348 ms 0.398 ms 0.340 ms Is the HTTPProxyPort is set to something sensible (maybe 8080), and are the HTTPProxyUsername and HTTPProxyPassword are also correctly set (or commented out) in freshclam.conf? Have you tried using the proxy from your "freshclam" machine for simple web browsing? Do you have a firewall issue? Do you know that the proxy actually works?
