@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..

Ip Range 82.145.208.0 - 82.145.215.255 tcp = tcp Port 443
Ip Range 103.83.120.0 - 103.83.123.255 tcp = tcp Port 443
Ip Range 107.167.96.0 - 107.167.127.255 tcp = tcp Port 443

@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!

@nvmjustagirl Thank you for the reply!

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.

@towerplease I've mentioned it to some Opera folks, but no response.
