Hi

Its been a very long time since I've used BOINC.. I first started doing projects in 2000 for Seti@home, so I decided I'd like to give it a try again with the custom resource options in the BOINC client.

When BOINC loads I get an error "Notice from BOINC - BOINC can't access Internet - check network connection or proxy configuration. 21/02/2020 02:39:00"

I've allowed all the separate parts of BOINC in my firewall rules with full access but so far nothing has worked. I also cannot seem to access Seti@home projects, it says it cannot communicate with the server, been trying for hours.

I can provide a Dxdiag if requested with system information.

Windows Firewall is off
Kaspersky Firewall is off
Cannot communicate with any project.. I get an error saying it cannot connect to the project.
I have isolated my IP through the router to allow all traffic, regardless of what it is. Quite dangerous, but I had to try everything I could think of.
Both BOINC and VirtualBox are updated to lastest versions

Could you go to options, event log options and enable http debug then post what appears there when you try and connect to a project. That may give a few more clues.

And re-enable your firewall. If you use Kaspersky, Windows' firewall is disabled already.

You can add boinc.exe to the firewall to use internet tcp 80 and 443
boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe need to communicate via localhost on tcp 31416

What Dave means with 'what appears there' is what it then says in the event log (CTRL+SHIFT+E) after enabling that debug flag.

I have little clue on how to do what you asked... No idea.

Dave is probably assuming that you are using 'Advanced View'. If you have a multicoloured display with images representing the project you're working on -

Look at the top of the display, find the word 'View', click it with your mouse or trackpad, and click again on the line 'Advanced View' which appears.

After that, the sequence of words to click on will make more sense.

The main reason for this error to occur is when you are using client SSL and you try to make a request of secured HTTPS source, for which you have to share an SSL/TLS Certificate for the verification of your identity. During this time, if the root certificate doesn’t work properly, then it may cause this error. (source)

First off exit BOINC fully, File->Exit->Acknowledge stop running tasks->OK
Next download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt and save it your desktop. (Right-clicking the link and doing save as.. helps here)
Then copy it from that place to C:\Program Files\BOINC\ and when asked by UAC that that's okay, acknowledge, overwriting the file that's there.

Next restart BOINC and try again. Post the event log if possible.

Still not figured this out. Not had a response since my last post.

Could you test BOINC 7.16.5, please?

64 bit client isn't connecting to Windows 10 on a lot of hardware.
Either get the newest beta, or run the 32 bit client.

Please stop half reading posts and then just injecting your erroneous opinion. The error this poster has has nothing to do with the client crashing on libeay32.dll like all the low power CPUs do, so switching to a 32bit client doesn't help here.

Sure will.

It solved my problem!

These TLS certificate problems are not fixed by switching from a 64bit client to a 32bit client on a low power CPU.

The OP is also not using a low power CPU.

Jord ... so far ...

Does not automatically run when rebooting Windows 10.
Launches automatically when clicking BOINC Manager icon.
Has "Run Always" pre-selected at every launch in Activity menu

Cannot find any cc_config_xml file anywhere. Configurations must be stored in Windows Registry, I guess, but where?

Thank you

Cannot find any cc_config_xml file anywhere. Configurations must be stored in Windows Registry, I guess, but where?

First off, the cc_config.xml file (with a dot instead of an underscore between config and xml) isn't made with BOINC, it can be made manually, or by editing and saving the event log options, or exclusive applications. This will fill out a complete cc_config.xml file that's stored in your data directory, on Windows 10 a hidden directory default at C:\Programdata\BOINC

Configurations, depends on what you mean with that:
- preferences are stored in the global_prefs.xml file for web preferences and global_prefs_override.xml for local preferences.
- debug flags and some more advanced operating configurations are stored in the cc_config.xml file.
- the registry holds information on what directories BOINC uses and the size and position of BOINC Manager.


Mind, this isn't a thread to post about possible bugs you find in BOINC 7.16.5. You can make your own thread for that, but we prefer you post about it on BOINC Github, or post about it to the BOINC Alpha email list. I asked the thread starter Aero to try 7.16.5 to see if that would fix his TLS problems, because it uses a newer version of OpenSSL.
