Title: Not able to download Windows 11 ISO
Post by: lhooipg on July 18, 2024, 04:32:37 AM
Hi all,

I am very new to this OPNsense and hope someone can point me to the correct answer.

I have set up the OPNsense firewall and everything is running as per default setting.

When I connected with a client and tried to download the Windows 11 ISO file, I was not able to proceed. The client machine has full internet access.

May I know what is the issue here and how to solve it, thanks.

Microsoft thinks you are in a banned country (Iran, Cuba, North Korea, etc.) If you are, emigrate. If you're not, contact them.

Yeah good luck getting anywhere for that error with Microsoft - I had the same issue for nearly 5 years, and I'm an an EU country, until a few months back when I could finally get the ISOs again. No-one I contacted could give me anything useful let alone actually tell me who to actually report it.


I'm afraid it's definitely not an OPNsense issue.

Not sure if it can help, but I had a similar experience and I fxed it by 'unblocking' (I'm using AdGuardHome) the following domain:  vlscppe.microsoft.com
