ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating

My ReadyNAS stopped receiving antivirus updates on March 19th 2018.  I suspected that the problem was DPI-SSL scanning on my Sonicwall 5600, because in the past that has caused problems with ReadyNAS firmware updates but that is not the case.  I excluded the ReadyNAS from DPI-SSL scanning but the the antivirus update continues to fail. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look next?

    If you have ssh enabled, you could try entering  host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net and see if that resolves without printing an error.

     

    You could also try executing freshclam and see if it updates successfully.

    Can you confirm that the NAS can reach the internet generally?  One way to test that is to turn NTP off and then on again.

      Yes I do have access to the internet.  The firmware update still connects and downloads updates.
