I fear this is the worst "solution" as you are now by-passing eBlocker. See here: https://eblocker.org/community/bugs-features/will-enabling-ipv6-in-fritzbox-7490-cause-trouble/#post-5573

We'll come up with eBlocker 3 and IPv6 support in a few. But same as with IPv4 you will then still need to add a Trusted App for Mega. From my perspective there is no other solution - or you just hit Pause in eBlocker before using Mega alternatively.

THX!

Same issue here with a linux-PC and an android smartphone.

I had to add the IP 66.203.125.14 to the mega rule to get the linux app working and the .13 for the android app.

I suspect, the whole range 66.203.125.* is needed at some point since they all belong to mega (see whois website).

Is there a possibility to add a wildcard in the rules? Or just making 256 entries?

To HTTPS whitelist a whole sub-network you can use the Internet network masking standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork

So in your case you might want to use "66.203.125.0/24" as whitelist entry.

But we generally do not recommend adding IP-addresses as trusted since they bear the risk of moving from one company to another. Thus uses this at your own risk... 😉

@random @elch

Thank you both for the info; will use the suggested address prudent. 

For now it works, even with IPv6 blocked in the router 🙂 Rob

Well, yesterday it worked. Today no connection is possible. The manual HTTPS diagnosis gives no clue.

@RobF does it still work for you?

@elch With the settings for the Trusted App 'Mega.nz' shown below, i can open the App MEGA on my iPad as if (!) eBlocker was Paused or Disabled. Hope it helps. Rob

thanks @RobF , same settings here. But connection is only possible when I disable/pause eblocker.

I can't see what has changed since yesterday evening. Well, I'll keep you updated. 😉

Well, that's exactly what I meant: Trusting IP addresses can be delicate as today they work, tomorrow they are in use of other applications (or even companies) and stop working.

If Mega is using IPs without a proper reverse lookup domain, adding the IPs as trusted will likely break over time. Sorry, for the bad news...

One thing you might want to try: enable the Auto Trust App (ATA). I'm not sure whether ATA will recognize IP addresses at all - but it's worth the trial.

@rob @all

Adding a top level domain as trusted will also trust all sub-domains. I.e mega.co.nz is sufficient as this will also trust api.mega.co.nz (which is redundant).

Good luck 👍 

THX!

Thanks, appreciate the support! Unfortunately, ATA did not recognized anything.

But I guess I figured it out: When opening the mega.nz website an error occurs:

Opening the link directly in the browser, Parental Controls blocks it: "The domain .mega.co.nz is part of the restricted web page category Illegal Filesharing."

Disabling Illegal Filesharing for my user leads to a working mega app (extra IP range in trusted app still needed).

Is there a possibility to include the domains from trusted apps into parental control? Don't know anything about the structure, complexity, ... Just a thought.

Obviously Parental Control Settings. 🙄

1. Switched off Trusted App 'Mega.nz'

2. Made sure ATA was ON

3. Tried starting MEGA-app; got message about SSL again

4. Searched for 'mega' in ATA, found 2 entries shown below

5. Switched Trusted App 'Mega.nz' to ON again

6. Started the MEGA App anew; smooth and easy

Rob

@elch When i open 'mega.nz' in my iPad-Safari, i'm shown 'mega.io'

eBlocker NOT paused or disabled. No message and no problem 🙂

@robf

Is Parental Control with Illegal Filesharing activated in your case?
