    Hi Yoav,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    Thanks for your report. Could you please download and install our latest GPG Suite nightly build and see if the problem persists. That page also has sig and SHA256 to verify the download. Currently that is GPG Suite 1940n.

    Are you behind a company firewall or using any other network traffic control tools like for example LittleSnitch?

    Does this error happen consistently whenever you try to search the key servers for a key or just a single time?

    All the best,
    steve

    Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet - bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test.
