Suddenly viper Ripper doesn't work.

failed to fetch updated hosts filter

Anybody know how to solve this problem???

Getting an error message: "vipervault.link is uneachable; reduced functionality" shows in the GUI's top bar.

On startup, I get his message:
Error: Unorecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
Failed to fetch updated hosts filter. Using existing.

Then:
hosts.xlm doesn't exist
Please contact us on vipervault.link

I'm not code-savvy, so I haven't done any tweaking or relocation of relevant files.

Any guesses?

I started getting the same error too. The records in the exceptions folder that the program tells you to look at are as follows:

any solution????

any solution????

I think they closed the server address. The program is getting this error because it can't get data from the viper server. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do on the client side.

Okay. I tried many version of Ripper and also install on different computer but same problem. Only what we can do is waiting. Hope they fix asap.
