Unable to connect to indexer: Unable to connect to the remote server

I’ve read up a bit on this error in some other posts but I don’t see a solution. The first comment that was made at a large number of posters regarded a possible malware proxy but that’s not the case here as far as I can tell.

Can you point me in which direction I should be looking?

Thanks.

Thats not the same error as the malware proxy issue as that one tries to connection to 127.0.0.1. In this case a public IP is listed which indicates its failing elsewhere, perhaps a firewall is blocking it.

Is it only one indexer affected or many? If its just one the problem could be on their side.

No no, it’s all 4 indexers, scene mapping and application updates.-. I even have this lovely nugget:

Anyway, I feel silly, somehow my firewall reset access permissons for nzbdrone.exe , probably happened during the last update.
