it's described here:

https://lists.clamav.net/pipermail/clamav-users/2021-March/010544.html

do you have multiple devices behind one IP address?

Do any of those devices download clamav database diferently then using
freshclam?

why are you using a VPN for downloading virus definitions?

I wouldn't say so, depends on what VPN.

>it was good while it lasted

yes, but people were abusing the service, that's why it got rate limited

You’re rate limited because you have one machine behind that IP that has attempted to download the daily.cvd 50x in the last 24 hours, and the main.cvd another 50x. Let alone the latest cdiff that it’s attempted to download 80x.

It’s not more than one machine, it’s a single machine.

maybe i don't fully understand how this vpn works
i understood that this would be the ip address for anyone using this exit point
i have two machines
one is my work machine and has clamav
the other runs a cnc mill that hasn't been on for several days
i can send my whole freshclam log if it helps
maybe something needs to be changed in my config

this is /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf

you weren't unblocked by changing receivetimeout.

wait until you are unblocked (up to 24 hours) and then you should be able to
download the file.

what's your bandwidth? the receive can take longer than 5 minutes./
How many machines in your network?
If more than one, creating local mirror should be better.

Here on the end of the bit of wet string supplied by British Telecom
I had to change my receive timeout from half an hour to an hour:

$ grep -i timeout /etc/mail/clamav/freshclam.conf
ConnectTimeout 600
ReceiveTimeout 3600

for many years it worked with people fetching via wget/curl, but it does not
apply now.


...changing timeout won't help you when you are banned, servers don't know
about your timeout settings (but will ban you if you repeatedly drop
connection because of timeout)

Your last info available was:

Tue Jul 27 11:34:07 2021 -> WARNING: You are on cool-down until after: 2021-07-27 15:34:07

hopefully it's OK now.

it seems my ban was lifted when freshclam ran Tue Jul 27 19:34:16 2021
but i was getting timeout with receivetimeout set at 5 minutes
this morning i increased it to 20 minutes and it succeeded
30 seconds to 20 minutes

So true.

No, but a lot of the repeated queries (causing the ban) is because the timeout is reached pre-maturely, and extending the download time allows for more time to download the file, which cuts down on the repeated queries.
