Hi, it could be your security software that is blocking it or do you have custom Host file on a Mac ?

I have nothing I can find that relates to the new Quantum Code. All things that fixed this before are of no use.

So can you check your not blocking a IP Address that Wildvine maybe attempting to contact in your Firewall.
