Anyone else having issues with Bitdefender updates?

Casual_User

I used to have issues with Bitdefender updating on my Macs at home.  That has worked fine once I got past the initial download (I had to exempt my computer from scanning the Bitdefender installation file).

Now, the Windows 10 machine cannot update.  I created an exemption for the Bitdefender domain under Protect -> Web -> Exemptions.  I exempted the domain from all scanning and filtering.  That did nothing. Bitdefender still would not update.  Interestingly, it would get as far as 98% before it quit.  The ONLY way I could get it to work was to create a new firewall rule for that particular computer that allowed all access to WAN without any filtering.  On the face of it, this would seem to be the same thing as creating an exemption rule.  I have the feeling that the exemption rules don't exempt all the things that are requested...

At the moment, it is a pain to create a firewall rule each time we need to update Bitdefender on the Win10 box...

    Did you already open a Support Case for this? 

    There should be something dropping in this scenario...

    You could perform a drppkt (Drop packet capture) on Advanced Shell. 

    Advanced Shell: drppkt | grep IP_of_Client

    I ran that in advanced shell.  The following are the more interesting of the dropped packets.  The majority of the dropped packets were going from the affected IP to 192.168.2.255 (which is nowhere):

    I made only one alteration in the last packet where I crossed-out the source MAC address.  The last packet was repeated a number of times for a variety of LAN IPs.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Only RESET Packets. 

    https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/131754

    Seems like the application has some issues, do not know how, but we are only dropping RST Packets.

    Thanks,

    I increased tcp-eat-idle-timeout to 21600 (doubling it) and it made no difference.  Looks like I'll have to create a temporary firewall rule to allow traffic from that LAN IP so that the update can install...

    I`ve got it.

    Web -> Exception -> New Entry "Bitdefender Updates"

    URL Pattern-Match

    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?bitdefender\.com\.?/

    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?bitdefender\.net\.?/

    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?bitdefender\.de\.?/

    And check all buttons on the right side.

    That's it. Works fine for me.
