ryanhunt 1 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi There. I'm using Evernote 6.5 (453175) on a Mac at work, and I cannot connect to Evernote. Access via the Browser works fine, however with the desktop version I get "Could not connect to server" (see attached screenshot). I access the Internet through a proxy, which does some SSL insertion/replacement and is authenticated via SAML/NTLM (yes, scary). What this means in normal speak is: I access any https:// website, and the proxy then unpacks the data (i.e. snoops in it) and then resigns it with our corporate proxy's SSL cert. So every certificate we see on https is signed by the corporate server, which my computer trusts. Furthermore, it requires authentication to work - using NTLM/SAML (i.e. Active Directory-like authentication). Since I'm on a Mac, and I don't like having to type my password in all the time, I use cntlm on my mac. I have my system proxy settings setup as: Web Proxy (HTTP): localhost:3128 Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS): localhost:3128 and then these connect to cntlm on my local mac, which then in turn connects to our corporate proxy. The error below (from my logs) looks like it's trying to connect, sees our corporate re-signed cert, and then barfs. Since I can't set an manual proxy settings, how can I fix this? Thanks, Ryan.

BSR 208 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hey @ryanhunt, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Our developers are aware of this issue and are working hard on a fix. We don't have a workaround at the moment, however in the meantime you can still access your account at evernote.com. I've created a support ticket on your behalf. One of our Technical Agents will be contacting you soon. 1 Link to comment
ryanhunt 1 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks @BSR. As a workaround, our WiFi network doesn't have this issue of proxies etc and it 'just works' - so I installed a WiFi card in my Mac Pro to get it working. I can test again at any time by disabling the WiFi card and connecting via Ethernet. Link to comment
BSR 208 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hey @ryanhunt. We sent this via the ticket, but I wanted to follow up here as well. Thanks again for reporting this to us. We've passed this along to QA and our development team to further investigate. For now, there are two options for working around this issue. You can: 1. Use Evernote Web for the time being (recommended) 2. Regress Evernote to version 6.4, if that version worked for you previously If you decide to regress to version 6.4, let us know via the support ticket and we'll be able to provide instructions for that.

ryanhunt 1 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks @BSR since I'm on the App Store version, and the Evernote site gives me 6.5, can you please share a link for others to download 6.4 please? I'm not a fan of using the Evernote Web version, love the desktop version. Link to comment
BSR 208 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi @ryanhunt, Regressing to a previous version of the application also means rolling back any issue fixes and features from the current version, and is generally not advised. For users who want to roll back to a previous version of Evernote, we recommend opening a support ticket where we would be able to provide specific instructions and guidance on the process of going back to an older version.

jim0266 0 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 already have a ticket open. My laptop running Mac OS 10.9 still works fine on our network. My new iMac running 10.11 throws an SSL error when connected to ethernet and will not sync. but works on the wireless network. Since the laptop still works with wired ethernet on our work network, this tells me the issue is between Evernote and Mac OS 10.11 and not an internal network issue. Link to comment
FMeu 1 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 @BSR, this becomes very annoying. I do pay for this software and I really don't feel the "love". This has a major impact on the way I use Evernote and this is a regression as this was working with previous releases. The answers you're giving here ("keep your eyes on ..." or "open a ticket ...") don't help us. Can you please give an ETA for the fix? If not, I'll consider moving to another product for this. Thanks for your comprehension, Link to comment

These issues typically occur when the internet connection is slow or the computer is connected through a firewall/VPN.

Carpesimia 1 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm currently a free user too, and having the same issue. I can connect via the web just fine, but the app wont let me connect. v6.10. Link to comment
thatsjet 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Free user also having this issue. After recent upgrade can't connect. Activity log shows the same SSL issue. Link to comment
Kevin__C 0 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Also receiving the same error with a 3rd party cert when connected to VPN. Currently a free user looking to upgrade to premium contingent on this bug being fixed. Link to comment
NickTech 0 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Same error here. Cannot sync at work do to HTTPS content filter/proxy. I would think Evernote support would take this more seriously considering more and more work places are using TLS man-in-the-middle products. Link to comment
majorge 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Is there an ETR for this? Reported 14 months ago and still broken? Link to comment
prosimian 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Another paid user having this issue over a year after the original post. I've opened a ticket but it's taking forever to hear back. The browser version of Evernote is almost unusable. Please fix this - or AT LEAST provide a link here for users to roll back to the version that didn't have this issue. Link to comment
JAKTIP 0 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 On my Mac, Evernote App could not establish the link to evernote server even though VPN is disconnected. Several attempts with deleting and reinstalling the APP are futile. Anyone experiences this? Link to comment
Nick is quitting Evernote 0 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Still an issue. Evernote has become unusable. Link to comment
mimesis18 1 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 +1 because I'm also now having this issue. Has anyone had a response form Evernote? Link to comment
cbrae 0 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So it's now 8th of August in 2018 and I still have this problem. And the thread is saying "you content will need to be approved by a moderator". Instead of that, can't we just get the problem fixed? At this point I don't regret going from paid to an unpaid user, since things are just never fixed and new features are not added. Link to comment
NickTech 0 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yep, have not been able to sync from the Mac client while at work for the past 2 years. But look... Evernote has refreshed it's brand... Link to comment

Tomlette 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Same problem and I cannot access Evernote.com from my iPad. If we can’t get this fixed the product won’t work for me and I’ll need a refund of my premium subscription. Thank you. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted January 6, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted January 6, 2020 You are posting in a thread that is more than 1 year old, and related to Mac, not iOS. Don't you think the forum would go berserk if there was a connectivity problem since ? I am using EN on iPad, iPhone, Mac and Windows, no connectivity issue at all. Probably there is something in between like a firewall that stops your EN from connecting. If you have LTE/4G on the iPad, does it work with this ? Alternatively, if you set up a personal hotspot on the mobile and connect the iPad to it, does it sync ? Link to comment
