Hi,

I have installed a local non productive ghost, version 6.0.9. It took me a time the get the ‘ghost install’ and later the ‘ghost check-update’ command worked for me. At the end I found out it was my firewall. It blocks certain regions. When I allow all traffic and disable region blocking, all works fine. But that’s not what I really want.

Does someone know from what region ghost downloads the software and software updates?  
Thanks in advance.
