      @towerplease @towerplease im sorry yahave 'n troubles with opera..

      the notes about opera_autoupdate.exe in the above post are kinna same as opera.exe..

      so here sum examples.. even tho sum stuff may be block 'n by your firewall..

      Example Opera folder structure

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe

      = launcher.exe is in the root directory
      = launcher.exe only points to opera.exe thats in a different folder
      = firewall rule does not ask for permission for launcher.exe ? - (This is really where opera.exe needs to be.. lol)

      Example Opera folder structure

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\54.0.2952.64\opera.exe

      = opera.exe is not in the root directory but needs firewall rule
      = firewall rule asks for connection to start process opera.exe & its connections
      = opera keeps changing the folder of opera.exe after each update
      = ya may need to change the directory path to the sub-folder's name that contains opera.exe in your firewall

      wish Sophos could wildcard..

      What on Earth.. is the reasoning behind this folder structure ? ! lol

      maybe they are meant to be like that.. so that Opera or a user can roll back to a previous version if something should go wrong.. *dam if i know.. esp with firewall rules involved..

      when a typical Windows program is updated, the new version just replaces the old version.. the new version stays in the same place

      i will post a few Ips for opera.exe sumtime later.. if ya want..

        @towerplease
        opera.exe = vpn on = (that is if you decide to use opera's vpn instead of company's vpn..
        = Ip Range 77.111.244.0 - 77.111.244.25 Tcp = Asia = Tcp Port 443
        = Ip Range 77.111.245.0 - 77.111.245.255 Tcp = Europe = Tcp Port 443
        = Ip Range 77.111.246.0 - 77.111.246.255 Tcp = Americas = Tcp Port 443

        umm.. i see this one sumtimes.. may see it when vpn is off..
        = Ip Range 82.145.208.0 - 82.145.215.255 Tcp = Tcp Port 443

        opera_autoupdate.exe = vpn on or off
        = Ip Range 185.26.182.64 - 185.26.182.127 Tcp = Tcp Port 443 = + your DNS TOO (i think)

        Note - sumtimes if when opera vpn does not connect.. or sumthin not right.. its cause Akamai Technologies, Inc wanna connect 1st.. (Big Brother i guess).. lol not always but sumtimes..

        Ip Range 23.192.0.0 - 23.223.255.255 tcp = tcp port 80

          Hey @nvmjustagirl

          so... i added all the IP-Ranges you said. But still the updates gives me a damn Error 😕
          I also was looking a bit in our FW-Logs, but i cannot find anything wrong, i get some packets "ALLOWED" by the Opera-Rule. There are only 2 IP's Blocked. 1 Which is from America, and whon from "KabelDeutschland". But i think they are not associated with Opera.

          Is not any Opera dev around the forum? He should know, which Networks, IP-Ranged and stuff needs to be unblocked. Maybe there is a kind of "Logviewer" for Opera which can show what the Problem is while Updating...

          Thank you very much in advance!

              @towerplease i got to think 'n even if ya don't have all the ips, you do know the ports which ya could allow any ips..

              and i think ya pretty much got these basic ports for opera configured in your firewall (your udp dns port - tcp port 80 - tcp port 443)

              so what if opera.exe & opera_autoupdate.exe has got or needs listen 'n port..

              i've loaned my my test 'n laptop for the weekend..

              but from what i saw both need listen 'n ports.. i can only see them for a split sec.. lol

              i can't see port numbers but do know it the local port..

              opera.exe need a Local Udp port
              opera_autoupdate.exe needs Local Udp Ports too..

              add it to firewall rules to see if it helps..

              i've got sum older ips i found that i never see n e more.. but i will post them later.. when i get that laptop back..

                  @leocg Thank you for the reply, where are the logs stored? I can't find any in C:\Program Files\Opera. That Logs would be very interesting!

                  Thank you in advance!

                    I have added the IP's you mentioned, and added everything with UDP too -> (HTTP/HTTPS 80/443 -> UDP and TCP)
                    But its not working, still getting "The update could not be downloaded" error.

                      @leocg I found the log in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable, but the autoupdater log is empty. 😕

                        Anyone wanna solve the Problem? Any opera Dev has to know which URL/IP/Port needs to be opened to get updater working. 😕
