Update URL

Recommended Posts

I have installed Paint.net on a classroom but when you exit the application it says there is an update available. The students always press yet but the update fails. I assume as the URL is blocked in school.

 

Is there a specific list I can add to the allowed list to enable to the update to progress?

Hello @dave987 and welcome to the forum :) 

 

It's just possible that if you download the portable version, that prompt may stop:  

 

https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases

What kind of error does it give?

Thanks for the quick replies... much appreciated!

 

I presume that the update file is hosted on GitHub? Github is blocked in school via the school web filtering system.

 

If there is a specific update file URL I could add that to the allowed list and enable the updater to download the file.

Yes the file is on GitHub. You'll need to make sure GitHub is not blocked.

 

Why a school would block GitHub makes no sense to me ... it's one of the most educational websites on the planet

 

The update files will have URLs such as https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases/download/v5.0.2/paint.net.5.0.2.install.x64.zip

 

So you'd probably want to un-block https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases/download/*
