Hello,

For a comprehensive list of domains and connections to whitelist, please contact F-Secure Support directly. They will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information. Remember that the list might change over time due to updates and improvements in F-Secure services.

I can't go to any of F-Secure sites. All are blocked.

I'm sorry to hear about your issue. If you can't access F-Secure's sites, you might want to try reaching out to them via their social media channels or use a different network (like mobile data or a public Wi-Fi) temporarily. Also, consider contacting your ISP and explaining the issue to them, they might be able to unblock the sites for you.

And their phone support numbers are limited for me to look up for you. Even though I use F-Secure, what you're needing is beyond my abilities.
If needed, I could post your question on the forum, but unfortunately what they may ask in follow-up questions, may be over my head.

I contacted F-Secure chat support. I connected to Tor via bridges in Brave. I asked if they could provide me with a list of needed connections and domains for F-Secure to work normally, here is what they said.

Based on your description, As checked with RnD team, the site could be blocked due to embargo. Egypt is one of the embargoed countries of the EU.

there is no block on our end, but suspected that the Government or ISP in Egypt has blocked our services.

As the government regulations and ISPs, there are no alternatives we can offer. As the blockage was not perform from our end

@Divine_Barakah
To guarantee proper transmission between the endpoints and backend, the endpoints need to be able to communicate over HTTP and HTTPS, port 443, with various sub-domains owned by F-Secure (*.f-secure.com and *.fsapi.com). You should also allow connections to the digicert.com domain, as Windows API may need to verify F-Secure services that are signed with a certificate that is issued by Digicert.

Note: Some firewalls do not allow you to specify wildcards for exclusions. If you are faced with this issue, please contact your firewall vendor for a fix.

I believe Proton will not work. I won't be able to sign in the VPN app to begin with. I am downloading the client, but it is taking forever as downloading in Tor is very slow.
 
This is awful. It's a shame how average people suffer because of deplorable governments. You had to flee your homeland because of war and now you are in a country where they are censoring things online. Maybe they even monitor everyone's online activity. Our government shutdown internet across the country for full 5 days to stop and kill innocent student protestors but thankfully that wasn't enough for her to stop the uprising, and she was forced to flee the country.
Anyway, be safe out there.

I have to be careful here. I am in a grey zone legally speaking and I was granted residency for 45 days only and I am long passed that now. I had to pay $6500 to come here.

Given the fact that the goverment here seems determined to block any services that aid in circumventing censorship, I believe they closely monitor online activity.
