Trouble with minion getting blocked by Windows [Eero router]

furiousmoose0 · 07/30/23, 03:55 PM

So I will preface this by stating that I have gone through the extensive troubleshooting steps already. Minion has worked perfectly for a while now, and I have never had any issues. Today, it detects addons and will let me update them. After I select update, it just goes to an infinite updating bar and doesn't continue. Upon inspecting the logs, I get this error.

I have tried running in admin
Minion is added to accepted apps in Windows firewall
I have no other firewall options active
I have uninstalled
I have deleted .minion
I have deleted minion.xml
I have set the IPv4stack to true
I can tracert the server just fine
Proxy is set to automatically detect settings
Went into advance settings in windows defender to ensure that inbound rules were applied for minion

I recently updated windows and I believe that is what caused this issue. Some new setting is blocking minion and I have no idea where to find it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why is it trying to resolve to 192.168.4.1 ? Some kind of Router -> DNS -> cdn.esoui.com interference? Are you sure your tracert resolves it to the internet IP instead of your local one?

Are you sure it's the Windows update? Looks like it might be related to:
