Cant Update Rules

When updating the rules I get an error saying that "OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to www.snort.org:443 "
How can I proceed....?

Are you running any other packages such as Squid, SquidGuard or pfBlockerNG? If so, one of them could be the source of your issue.
Are you running any other type of proxy? If so, check there.
Your error message indicates the
curl
utility cannot open an SSL connection to the Snort rules site. That site is hosted on AWS infrastructure. Make sure you are not behind a VPN when attempting to update. Many VPN providers have their IP space blocked by many service providers. -
Thank you so much (again:)...)
It was the proxy that we use, my problem though was that I white-listed the wrong interface...
