Installation Fails: Cannot DL security rules

    I tried to run the installer for NFW and received the following error:

    Error: The installer cannot download the security rules from wordpress.org website.

    The server may be temporarily down or you may have network connectivity problems? Please try again in a few minutes.
    NinjaFirewall downloads its rules over an HTTPS secure connection. Maybe your server does not support SSL? You can force NinjaFirewall to use a non-secure HTTP connection by adding the following directive to your wp-config.php file:

    define(“NFW_DONT_USE_SSL”, 1);

    I went into wp-config.php and added the define(“NFW_DONT_USE_SSL”, 1);, and tried again. Same message.

    So my next step is to determine if I can somehow check to see if the server is up or down for the rule file. If I can determine that, then I can either wait or go to step 2, which is to find out why I cannot have any outbound traffic.

    Thanks for any help in providing information on this.

    It (the WordPress.org repo) may be temporarily down. But if you still get the same error message several hours later, I suggest you contact your host to see whether your account has some restrictions regarding outbound connections.
