Hi!
I can't activate Process Lasso.
Process Lasso gives me the message that the Bitsum Webservers are unreachable.
On my router's dns log there is an entry logged for activate.bitsum.com.

--- PING activate.bitsum.com (137.116.55.110) 56(84) bytes of data. ---

The failure you see is related to a server check at https://activate.bitsum.com/check.php . You can test it with Internet Explorer (specifically) to ensure the internet API config is correct.

The server will not respond to pings, so your network tools output looks normal.

The IP will now have changed since you last tried.

Thanks for your answers.

I leaved the ping/traceroutes here, just in case for further diagnostics.
Even though the icmp requests got filtered, like on most systems.

Yes the ip changed to 104.28.23.224 but activation is still not successful.

Did you verify that Internet Explorer (specifically) can connect to the URL listed in my first response?

Thank you for the tip with IE.

I don't use IE.
Upon launch it tries to open a default website from microsoft.
But fails cause TLS was not enabled in the options.
After activating TLS in the IE options Process Lasso started working.
But i don't know why TLS was disabled cause it should be enabled by default.

Thanks again for the tip  ;)

Ah, yes that would do it ;).

Glad you got it sorted out, and thanks for reporting what the trouble was.
