Unable to update: https://update-master.ixsystems.com blocked

Hi.

(Apologies if this has been addressed before; I did a search but I couldn’t find anything).

I’m unable to update TrueNAS Core in the normal manner, because https://update-master.ixsystems.com/ is currently blocked for me by the (UK) National Cyber Security Centre’s PDNS (Protective Domain Name Service).

Please advise.

Thank you and best regards

Tom

VirusTotal claims it is okay

Sounds like a problem with the PDNS. But you can download the manual update file from:
https://download-core.sys.truenas.net/

and then do the update through the web UI.

Maybe contact PDNS support?

@dan @SmallBarky Hi both, and thanks for replying.

Unfortunately, https://download-core.sys.truenas.net/ is also blocked by PDNS :frowning:

VirusTotal claims it is okay

That’s good. But it’s NCSC who need to be convinced it’s safe, rather than me :slight_smile:

I’ll contact NCSC and update my post when/if I have further information.

UPDATE: Now resolved

I contacted PDNS support. The block resulted from a false positive associated with link[.]storjshare[.]io. The relevant domains are now unblocked, and TrueNAS can “see” updates again.
