BOINC version:7.16.7

I am new to boinc.

I wanted to join a universe@home and every time I sign up and enter my email adress the program freezes.

What OS? Can you sign up to other projects? Not the case for universe@home (I just tested it,) some projects require signing up via the website. Also is there anything in the event log to show what might be happening? If not temporarily enable http debug via event log options then try again and see if anything shows.

I use windows10.
I can't join any projects,and I can't open the event log when boinc freezes;

Also my virtuabox version is 6.1.12

update:
All of the input box is broken,every time I tries to put something in the box the program freezes.

Do you need to run virtual box?

Might be worth trying the windows client without it?

You don't need VirtualBox for Universe@Home, so in this I agree with Dave, try uninstalling VirtualBox first (via your normal Windows Settings->Apps menu). Unless you plan to run one of the projects that supports VirtualBox, it's not necessary to install it.

I tried to uninstall virtualbox but bonic still freezes.

And with freezes you mean what exactly?
No cursor blinking, can't type anything? Also not if you wait? Can you still use the Cancel button?
Are you using a VPN by chance? If so what if you disable it?
Do you use a third party antivirus or firewall solution? If so, which?
Does this only happen with Universe@home or also with other projects?

And with freezes you mean what exactly?

I can't press buttons on the program,I can't quit the program,I can't press any button.(Edit:I can't open event log)

Are you using a VPN by chance? If so what if you disable it?

I'm not using any VPN.

Do you use a third party antivirus or firewall solution? If so, which?

I have Kaspersky on my computer and I live in China.

Does this only happen with Universe@home or also with other projects?

It happens on every project login page and also on account manger.It doesn't happen on project selection page.

So in other words, as soon as BOINC tries to make contact with anything outside of China, it freezes?
For a test, in the Add Project wizard, fill in any URL you can think of. Doesn't need to be a BOINC project. Local URLs, but also outside URLs, like www.google.com
Does that still freeze everything?

BOINC can make contact with anything that is not banned in china.
The problem is that if I fill in anything in BONIC when it successfully contacted with projects,the program freezes.

BOINC can make contact with anything that is not banned in china.

This doesn't tell me anything as I don't know what is and what isn't banned in China and how that portraits into communications in BOINC.

So.
BOINC Manager.
Tools
Add Project
In the Project URL type www.google.com
Hit Next
What is the outcome here?
(This page should be blocked)

What if you use weibo.com ?

Both of these aren't BOINC projects, while Google should be blocked and Weibo shouldn't. Does either here freeze the wizard?

If neither of those really freeze the manager, then it must be something in the scheduler contacts that does this and then I'll have to ask you to post this on the Github page for BOINC, so the developers can chime in. Just tell me if you can get to https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues (in a browser)

In June, David Anderson announced that a BOINC client called SUNET had been launched. From what I could see then, that client appeared to be based in China, but I can't now see it from outside China.

You could try using that client instead. Please let us know how you get on.

Try to set <network_test_url>SOME_LOCAL_URL</network_test_url> in cc_config.xml file

File will look like this:
<cc_config>
<options>
<network_test_url>SOME_LOCAL_URL</network_test_url>
</options>
</cc_config>
