Hy everybody,

I'm facing an issue with update  of Clamav's database.

I use ExpressVPN and each time i want to update the database i see a message in the logs files (syslog and freshclam) as examples :

• syslog :
• May  4 00:43:17 tux-P17SM freshclam[1967]: Mon May  4 00:43:17 2020 -> ^Failed to get daily database version information from server: https://database.clamav.net

To try to solve this issue, i have added this line in my /etc/hosts file :

• 104.16.218.84    database.clamav.net

But it seems the issue is not solve.

Please note that the update work well if i switch off my VPN.

Is someone could give me some solutions to solve this issue please ?

Thank in advance.

With my best regards
