Didnt touch anything with firewall, it just didnt work very recently last week after an IPS update

what is the problem with Sophos XG 125?

Previously there was no issue at all to use normal wget, on centos 7. no internal firewall, just using sophos xg.

I noted in firewall the IPS hotfix was updated, then this happen. Can let us know a workaround for this?

I tried normal download using a web browser, it works. http://database.clamav.net/main.cvd

    Hi ,

    We tried to perform wget to database.clamav.net/main.cvd, and got ERROR 403 in response. This seems to be an issue from the web server end.

    utm:/root # wget database.clamav.net/main.cvd

    Tried from ubuntu as well but got the same forbidden error. However, the file gets downloaded if I access this URL in a browser.

  • true, we try to contact clamav team end. It could be a new issue.
