Success - and thanks for the suggestion. Just removed BOINC completely, rebooted and started from scratch. No problem now.

Yes - my bad - I did leave out important info:

macOS 10.12.4
Private Internet Access is the VPN

Yes - you are probably right - I should uninstall BOINC along with the directory in /Library/Application Support and install it again WITH the VPN ON

Thx

Ever since I've started using a VPN (about a week now), I no longer get new tasks for my BOINC projects. In addition, when BOINC has a notice and I click the Notices tab, my browser pops open with "Can't open the page "localhost" because can't connect to the servers "localhost" "

Any ideas?
