Battle.net Client Can't Download Updates

Hi.  My battle.net client (Blizzard games like WoW, StarCraft, etc...) cannot update if HTTP scanning is turned on.  It works if I disable HTTP scanning in the web filter. I do not have HTTPS scanning turned on.  I have tried bypassing these sites from  getting scanned and it still does not work.  Here's a great list of regex exceptions from UTM 9 that don't seem to work with XG Firewall.

    I give these regexes every bypass option in the web proxy.  I can download just fine.  make sure you change battle.net client to http download otherwise it tries to use bit torrent...put my expressions into an exception under web filtering and change battle.net to http download and it should work.

  • You may have to uninstall/reboot/reinstall the client to change to http.  I have had this running for over a year so it works.  Unless XG has something totally different these three regex expressions should be all you need.

  • Thanks William.  There isn't an option to disable P2P downloads from Blizzard, that was removed over a year ago.  Unless there's some trick.  My problem is that the client is trying to do a direct IP download from Blizzard servers.  I checked ARIN and Blizzard owns them.

  • in my case battle.net client does http downlaods and those regex expressions solved the issue..:)
