MVPN HOSTS list,the modification of the protocol seems to prevent the updating of the list

... Both secure URIs load fine here under New Moon 28:

https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/

... and the list can be properly (manually) updated in the third-party filters tab of the dashboard:

Hi,:hello:

Can you try disabling the list, saving the changes, reboot the browser and trying to update the list again?

I have been testing since yesterday and it just doesn't update:

No problem with the other lists.

I have been testing since yesterday and it just doesn't update:

... For fear that my heavily modified, old, NM28 profile would interfere, I started from scratch by downloading a fresh copy of latest NM28 32-bit (buildID 20200724223135) and a new, pristine, profile was created, on which I only imported a previous sessionstore.js file.

Once launched,
1. I only installed (from GitHub) uBlock0_1.16.4.24.firefox-legacy.xpi
2. The MVPS filter list isn't enabled by default :sneaky: ; I selected it in the dashboard and applied changes; all went along as expected :P
3. I clicked the "clock" button at the end of the list entry, as expected the orange triangle sign took its place:

4. I pushed the Update Now button in the top of the tab, the list updated OK:

5. As you asked, I then deselected the MVPS list and applied changes ;)
6. NM28 was restarted; once relaunched, I enabled anew aforementioned list
7. Clicking the Update Now button works as expected for said list here :thumbup :

Here are the loaded/updated contents of the list (inside uB0 itself):

... and, as said already, here is the secure connection result to the filter list itself, via browser:

It is my understanding that uB0-legacy uses NM28's libraries to perform connections to HTTPS URIs, so me being on Vista SP2 vs you being on XP SP3 shouldn't really matter (?) ...
Possibly something configured in your highly secured setup blocks the needed connection(s) for the list to update itself :dubbio:

Thank you so much VistaLover because your analysis stimulated my (old :D) brain cells.

I don't use the MPVN HOSTS list because the update rate is too slow for me.

The list almost certainly also uses Insecure Cipher Suites that I blocked in my New Moon 28.

As you can see I have left only 2 active:

And in fact there is the failure to load the list page:

Okay so, I wouldn't use that list anyway, thank you very much.:no::):hello:

You are welcome, but I'm not young myself... :whistle::( Each new day for me probably means many thousands of brain neurons dead, never to be replaced again :no: (because, if you didn't know already, brain cells are the ONLY type of human cells that don't multiply/regenerate, only the number of connections between them can grow,,,).

That is precisely the case ;) ; SSL Labs / Server Test

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=winhelp2002.mvps.org

caps this site as B, because it only uses TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES cipher suites, now deemed weak:

(... while, at the same time, still supporting TLS 1.0/1.1).

I try Quad9 DNS again:

... I, too, was using DNS Quad 9 Public servers (9.9.9.9,149.112.112.112) until I recently found out that Dropbox links weren't resolving :angry:, e.g. :

https://www.dropbox.com/

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7d47x36vuibc39h/palemoon.js

... so I went back to DNS Cloudflare Public (1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1) :P ...

(OT: Using the very handy nirsoft utility QuickSetDNS v1.30 :thumbup )

Hi Lover.:hello:
All right?

It works for me:

Thanks, but I don't use Russian spyware

I’m also an American and was very reluctant to try Yandex for the same reason, but finally relented earlier this year. IMO the most suspicious thing about Yandex is their deal with Adguard.
