Hello there, my first post... :) I sometimes get errors while the project tries to update. If I stop my openvpn service it works, after starting openvpn it works ony for a while til boinc can't update my milkyway@home anymore I am running boinct and sometimes it says: Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name Project communication failed attemmpting access to reference site and Internet access OK - project servers maybe temporarily down. If this message appears I cant access https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu but I have internet access I am running boinc-client 7.18.1 I am using airvpn kind regards |

Hello there, my first post... :) Keep trying alot of us are getting it at times, the vpn shouldn't make any difference unless you have turned off MilkyWay in it specifically |

Same problem for me with AirVpn You can contact an Admin and ask if they are blocking a set of IP addresses that maybe you are using, ideally you should try moving your vpn to someplace else in the World, a start might be the US, Canada or the UK depending on where you live as MilkyWay is hosted in the US. |

I checked which AirVPN server is working correctly with milkyway@home and changed my openvpn setting, so it will only connect to this server. Now I can update my work units every time I want. |
