Hi everyone,
In a setting where OpenVAS is behind a proxy (that leads to the internet), I am having trouble getting the greenbone-nvt-sync command to work. The errors are:
- rsync: failed to connect to feed.openvas.org (89.146.224.58): Connection refused (111)
- rsync: failed to connect to feed.openvas.org (IPv6): Network is unreachable (101)
- rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(125) [Receiver=3.1.2]
But the funny thing is, I can reach the Internet through Mozilla Browser.
So I have set up the right proxy settings.
But for some reason nvt sync is not happening. Can anyone advise on this?

So what I have found out (please correct if I’m wrong), in the case where you have not defined something called RSYNC, it would not work.
Hence I did this.
export RSYNC_PROXY=(proxy IP address):(port)
Then I continued with greenbone-nvt-sync, but greeted with another error:
rsync: did not see server greeting
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1666) [Receiver=3.1.2]
======edit2======
So I have happily forgotten about possible firewalls blocking port 873 which RSYNC is using. Let me know if I’m wrong on this.
That would leave me with offline sync. For this part, please let me know if you have any ideas on how I can do this.
Thanks!
