I saw many times that my scheduled grab job is failing.
I checked the error and saw that basically the License verification is taking time and if it is over few seconds it times out and an error is reported.
How can this be fixed?

I seem to have the same issue with this failing for many days now. Tried certificate sync, upgraded to V3.2.5.0 from V3.2.0, and making another donation for the hard work.

Also tried forcing license update and running as root but still getting the same error
Hi there, please check your dns and preferrably set to google (8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4) we noticed this solves the problem.
Changed router DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and seem to be getting the same issue:
bash-4.3$ ./run.sh

Any help team can provide would be much appreciated...
what system is this ?
Synology/Linux. Never had an issue for past 3+ years until couple weeks ago...
Running always same version ? Have you tried certificate update ?
As indicated in above post few days ago, "Tried certificate sync, upgraded to V3.2.5.0 from V3.2.0, and making another donation for the hard work." Thanks
Seems no resolution?
Not sure how to install dotnet on Synology otherwise I would maybe give v4 a try
Same error here. Ubuntu 18. Nothing changed in the system .Suddenly started giving me the error (even before getting to .ini configurations):

I updated the certificates and also checked my DNS.
Are you sure that with cat /etc/resolv.conf or systemd-resolve --status you have google dns ?
Also change to WebGrabPlus_V3.2.3.7_eval_install or with dotnet 5 sdk you can run version 4
DNS is on Google. As I said, I didnt make any changes to configuration on the server. It all worked, till it didnt work.
Where do I download "WebGrabPlus_V3.2.3.7_eval_install"? On a main Webgrab page it's not that version.
Thanks again.
