Title basically covers it all, I stood up a brand new VM as the old one was running GVM8 on Centos7 and I figured the best way to update everything was to create a fresh environment.
I ran gvm-setup after getting everything installed, it did an initial sync of NVTs and then moved onto the next sync (i dont know if it is cert or scap or what) of continually retrying feed.community.greenbone.net. The connection is refused. I started the gvm-setup and went to lunch so I don’t know what happened in the interim, it is still going though and retrying every 60 seconds. Whatever it is still trying to do is still part of the gvm-setup script, but I just killed it.
I used the atomicorp repository’s gvm package.
For reference, this was the last output:

(I should add- we do not have IPv6 set up currently)
edit to add: I have not been able to do any sort of config within gvm-setup, it just tries to sync and fails. Running gvm-setup again appears to just start the failing sync again.
I upgraded my kernel to 5.11.1, I am not sure if that has the patch mentioned in the article but the article says it was added to 5.10 so I assume it’s there. Still happening after a reboot.
