I previously had insync 1.5 working perfectly fine on this computer (just 2 days ago). After much ado I finally got insync 3 installed and logged into my Google account to sync Drive. Now it is installed, the “Activity” section simply says “This section is under construction” and no new files are being sync’d.
When I look into the logs, a recurring issue I see is something about bad certificates, eg:
root in __is_validisyncd\win\cert_impl.pyo6{"message": "Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority is not a valid certificate: Status: 1", "params": []}{}
The only 3 conclusions I can come to are:
-
inSync has taken down or broken something server side. I somehow doubt this.
-
inSync seems to come with its own CA bundle, maybe that’s broken in this release? Maybe. I force all DNS over Cloudflare, but that shouldn’t be an issue.
-
The new inSync 3 uses something funky like BITS to access the internet. I have a host firewall with a default deny outbound rule, however I do have an exception for Insync and insync-cef. This was sufficient for inSync 1.5, but I couldn’t even log into 3.0.19.40421 with the firewall running.
Can someone from inSync confirm what libraries/APIs/methods are used for internet access in inSync3?
If there are any more details I can provide to help troubleshoot please let me know. The insync.exe process seems to establish 2 local TCP connections (to itself it seems) as well as a few others (one IP[162.243.193.9] for insynchq.com, the other two to Google [accounts.google.com, both returning a valid certificate]). However those connections die off a while after opening the program.
