Thank you for all the information you provided. Looking at the log this is the error Minion is getting when it tries to connect to the internet.
In a recent patch we have Minion check if it can connect to our file CDN and API. It looks like its having trouble connecting to the CDN. Are you able to download AddOns from our website (we use the same CDN for our downloads)?
Code:
<message>I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Permission denied: connect</message>
That is the first time I've seen that error and it makes me think something has locked down Minion or Java from connecting to the internet. I'm not 100% sure though and will talk to our java programmer about it too.
I do have a question about your windows internet options.
- Go to your control panel and search for "Internet Options" and click on it.
- Switch to the security tab
- What is your security level zone set to?
- If its custom click on [Custom Level]
- Try resetting to "Medium"
