  1. I just updated actually 'cause I had a bit of spare time and it worked like a charm. I'm happily writing from kernel 6.5.13.
  2. Thank you J.J! Next week I'll upgrade to 6.5.13 (released on November 28th, 2023) and I'll let you know.
  3. Hey there, version 9.1.11.0 supported up to kernel 6.3.13 from July 11th 2023. That's the version I'm currently running. A few days ago, on February the 8th 2024, version 9.1.13.0 was released specifically to support newer kernels. What's the most recent ESET supported kernel I can update to?
  4. Sorry I meant July 11th 2023, but still... Can you also try what happens with OPEN VPN?
  5. And it's working correctly?! Very interesting! I'm also on Fedora but to make it work I had to version lock the kernel to 6.3.13 from April 2023 as I couldn't manage to make it work with anything more recent...
  6. Another year passed, so I added my feedback... this now marks my 8th year with ESET. I started using ESET 8 years ago as it was literally the only company out there providing a Linux antivirus for home users, namely NOD32. It was fast, lightweight and it just kept working, the user interface was very basic and old-style and even the antivirus features were limited but it was everything I needed as a home user. Unfortunately, due to the tiny market of home linux users (less than 1% of net market share, really), ESET sadly discontinued NOD32, leaving us with only one option: "upgrade" to ESET Endpoint Protection. Aside from the added cost that this brought (which is considerably higher for a home user, given that you're forced to purchase 5 licenses even if you need 1), to this day ESET Endpoint Protection for Linux has less options than NOD32. The GUI is reduced to the very minimum and it doesn't even have a button to perform a full system scan, it doesn't have a button to enable/disable the individual shields, it doesn't have a button to set exceptions (like specific paths that should be excluded), it doesn't have an option to see quarantined files and eventually restore them and/or send them to ESET for evaluation in case the user thinks they're false positives, it doesn't have an option to choose what the antivirus is supposed to do when it faces a threat (like, remove it automatically? move it to quarantine? ask the user?), it doesn't have an option to schedule scans (like if the user wants to setup automatic scans every night at 2AM when the computer isn't in use etc). I mean, ESET Endpoint Protection for Linux is lacking a lot of features, the GUI is too minimal and it also doesn't support the latest kernels which is forcing people to either stick with an older long time support kernel like 6.1.x or update to and end of life kernel which has already been deprecated like 6.3.13 (which is currently the last one supported). I know that Linux is still a tiny market, but please, find some space in your heart to support us 'cause we're feeling left behind.
  7. Hi Jack, it's not a matter of Fedora, it's the web access protection that is malfunctioning even on supported distro like RHEL (which comes from Fedora and CentOS). I'm happily running ESET 9.1.11.0 (which doesn't have web access protection) on Fedora 40, but you need to keep one thing in mind: you can't use any kernel newer than 6.3.13-200.fc38.x86_64 (you can version lock it in dnf so that it updates everything else but the kernel)
  8. Yep, the web scan on the new 10.x antivirus has caused a lot of issues to plenty of users on plenty of distro. Sadly we all ended up doing the same thing: rolling back to 9.x Currently I'm on version 9.1.11.0 which doesn't have the web scan and it works reliably. I'll only move to a newer version when the web scan will be either deactivable from the GUI or fixed and made more friendly. One thing to note if you actually decide to stick with version 9.x, make sure to kernel-lock your OS so that it never upgrades past kernel 6.3.13 'cause newer kernels are incompatible. Aside from that you can update everything else and in terms of support version 9.x will be supported 'till 2026, so we're good. I sincerely hope that ESET will improve things way sooner than that, though.
  9. It's not a matter of distro, it's a matter of kernel. You can use the current Ubuntu or, for that matter, any other recently updated distro like Fedora, CentOS Stream etc, as long as you stick with kernel 6.3.13. Any kernel newer than that won't work. For instance, I'm on Fedora 39, but I version locked the kernel to 6.3.13 and ESET Endpoint runs fine. I also recommend sticking with version 9.x of the antivirus given that version 10 introduces web protection which is completely broken and would block all your internet traffic, as already reported by multiple people on this forum.
  10. That's only if you also purchased ESET PROTECT Cloud, though, which is something that many home users who got migrated from the now defunct NOD32 didn't obviously purchase...
  11. Well, I can reproduce it on two different Fedora installations too, which is why I'm sticking with 9.x. Speaking of which, in order to still update when new versions are gonna be released, is there a way to disable the web protection without ESET Protect Cloud? A configuration file perhaps? A command line entry? I know that the GUI is low priority, but it would be nice to add an option to enable/disable components in there too.
  12. Not that I'm aware of. Just roll back to 9.1.11 and in the meantime collect the logs and open an issue / bug in the help center. The more people report this the faster it will be solved. I already did, but you should too 'cause it will show them that it occurs on Linux regardless of the distro.
  13. It's the web access protection, same goes for Fedora: If you roll back to 9.1.11 it will work. Still, I'd like ESET to introduce an option in the GUI to disable Web Access Protection in version 10.x and future versions as well so that the user can decide and add exceptions etc.
  14. Will do. July 11, 2026. Looks like I'm gonna be fine for quite some time, though.
  15. Reverting to 9.1.11 worked (9.11 to be precise). I can now browse the web just fine. So I think I'm gonna stick to 9.1.11 for the time being until there's gonna be an option in the GUI in the future versions to actually disable web filtering etc. How long is 9.x gonna be supported?
