I think these reports don't tell you what you think they mean. In fact they're pretty much meaningless. The two different servers have different versions of the signature. That is perfectly normal - there is simply zero chance and it is naive to think they will always be fully synced in the

The "out of date at one mirror" issue you are speaking of is fine. Once someone requests a file, it is cached at that POP site. All further requests to other POPs then check "sister" POP sites to see if the other POP sites have the file first, then download it laterally from one POP to

I believe that the delays we have been observing are due to some problem with the Boston Cloudflare servers, or, perhaps, Comcast has a "transparent" caching proxy which is causing us trouble. I recently installed the same build and configuration of ClamAV 0.100.2 on our Web server, a virtual

"I might be a little late to the party here, but are you saying that 10.11.14.160 is the IP address which the Cloudflare servers see?" Sorry, I left out a bit. The 10.11.14.160 is the address assigned to a NIC on our firewall / gateway / internal router machine, but that NIC is connected to a

"But the OP has *refused* to consider trying that." Nonsense! I did, of course, do that for a while, in a desperate attempt to get any updates at all. But it seemed like an incredibly crude way to try to get back to the pre-Cloudflare behavior when updates didn't regularly fail (and eventually

I was just looking at freshclam.conf.sample in 0.101.2, and it looks like *all* logging is disabled by default (back to 0.98.6, at least). I wonder how many users of ClamAV actually log their freshclam updates. Those who don't likely won't notice freshclam temporary failures due to an out-of-sync

It's possible. But, unless there is a vocal minority that no one is chiming in about, you are the only person/group that I have heard complain about the issue... Millions of people are getting updates from Cloudflare a day, so something is working correctly, and there's been no configuration

We are using a local mirror to reduce Internet traffic and (mainly) to reduce load on the ClamAV servers. It is *only* the "master" (Internet-connected) ClamAV that sees these delays, where the DNS TXT record advertises updates before whatever Cloudflare server we (are unlucky enough to) actually

I think you misunderstand. The 'LocalIPAddress' is the *outgoing* IP address: i.e., the address assigned to the NIC. (This used to be important when we had two Internet connections.) The 'LocalIPAddress' has nothing to do with the IP address that freshclam tries to get the cvds etc. *from*.

Any particular reason that you are using a local mirror? I mean, if not strictly necessary, just point it at our mirrors and call it a day. I've talked to a couple people off list in the last few days that were experiencing errors or delays, and 100% of them were using local proxies or

Our Internet-facing ClamAV sits on our gateway/firewall and serves as our local mirror. It accesses the Internet via the NIC whose IP address is 10.11.14.160. (We used to have two NICs connected to the Internet, but now only have one, so this is historical only.) The msg "Using ip '10.11.14.160'
