Our firewall is blocking http://update.remoteutilities.net/host-7.5.1.0.exe on machines that have remote utilities installed.

Is this a legitimate update domain owned by RU?

Hello,

Yes, the domain is owned by our company and the link (you forgot httpS) leads to our file. You can check the file's digital signature, it should be EV-Code Signed by Remote Utilities.

However, we'll check the domains SSL certificate. Seems like there are some issues. We'll also check if it was blacklisted (for that reason) by any security providers. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks. Also I didn't forget the s. The update coming in on our Meraki logs is http.

No problem. You can also directly check the domain ownership if you visit: https://remoteutilities.net/

Yep. What threw me off with that is Remote Utilities Pty (Cy) Ltd. didn't match Remote Utilities Pte. Ltd. that's on remoteutilities.com
