I’ll be a little more kind, as this could be freshclam didn’t work maybe because of CGNAT and CloudFlare, and perhaps he’s troubleshooting with direct downloads. My suggestion would be run "freshclam —debug”. Heads up to the Clam team for really good logging on debug for showing such details going through SSL CAs, web transactions, et al…
CGNAT on ip4 wouldn’t surprise me, as I’ve personally seen issues with other CDNs, Netflix, Disney+, et al…. Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc. P: 610-429-8300 > On Jul 2, 2022, at 1:57 PM, G.W.
