Hy everybody,
I'm facing an issue with update of Clamav's database.
I use ExpressVPN and each time i want to update the database i see a
message in the logs files (syslog and freshclam) as examples :
* syslog :
o May 4 00:43:17 tux-P17SM freshclam[1967]: Mon May 4 00:43:17

To try to solve this issue, i have added this line in my /etc/hosts file :
* 104.16.218.84 database.clamav.net
But it seems the issue is not solve.
Please note that the update work well if i switch off my VPN.
Is someone could give me some solutions to solve this issue please ?
Thank in advance.
With my best regards
