Hi, I’ve been using Anki now for a couple of years now, with no issues. The last couple of weeks, I haven’t been able to sync neither my phone or desktop, always getting this error: [image] I’ve trying with my home, work and mobile networks and always got the same issue. It doesn’t seem to be a d…

Howdy, I have just tried all the step above w/o any success. When ever I try to sync my anki I am met with a network error (SC attached below) and I am unable to utilize anki as a result. I have tried to sync on both mac and windows, on hotspots, different wifi networks, and starting in safe mode/o…

I’ve received the above error message and my data won’t sync now on my Windows device. I’ve tried restarting my laptop, also installed to the latest version of ANKI. I’m getting the same error on my phone too. Not sure what next steps to take.

I don’t have an active antivirus on this computer currently so there is nothing I can whitelist. I have tried on multiple different internet services (hotspot, home wifi, wtc..)

I am having the same issue. I was unable to sync across three different devices and on different networks. Crucially, making a new test account on ankiweb allowed me to sync, but my main account is still broken. Is it possible that my account was blocked for some reason? Thank you.

same problem here. I’m pretty sure it was working fine a few hours ago. I get it both from the windows desktop app connected via wifi, and from the android app connected via hotspot. Ankiweb.net is reachable from the browser just fine. Any address I can try to ping or some way to diagnose the possib…

@gny824 @Neff207 @JojoKim @pokefdsf A wave of these coming in all at once almost always means a regional server issue. If you’ve tried everything suggested, you might need to wait a bit and try syncing again. And @JojoKim – I see nothing to indicate a problem with your AnkiWeb account.

Just wanted to add that I’m also receiving the same issue. Have been using Anki for multiple years now and have gotten this issue starting today. No issues in the past with firewall, antivirus or anything similar on Windows in the past. I am also getting the same error code on iPhone and iPad, as we…

Try: [image] Error sending request for url(): error trying to connect (no have solutions?) Help There have been no recent migrations. If logging out + syncing again does not help, what happens when you visit https://sync3.ankiweb.net/abc in your browser?

Thanks for the info Danika. I’ll wait until tomorrow to try to sync. My sync button is also now red after trying to optimize cards - so i guess I need to do a “Full sync” based on my googling. is there a link to where I could find instructions on this?
