<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Unfortunately there are a variety of reasons why sending keys can fail.</p>
<p>Is there any chance that you are using Little Snitch or any other firewall on your Mac? If so, please temporarily disable that software and repeat your action.</p>
<p>If you are seeing the error Connection: Refused, it is possible that your nameserver is at fault. In that case, please try to change the nameserver (DNS) to 1.1.1.1 and try again.</p>
<p>Does this problem persist if you select another key server form the default list in GPG Keychain > Preferences > Key Servers?</p>
<p>Best,<br>

<p>I performed a reset (Neustart) on my mac and now it is possible to upload public keys.</p>
<p>Before I set the DNS to 1.1.1.1, but this was not successful.<br>
In the meantime I returned to the previous settings.</p>
<p>It seems the reset did the job.</p>
<p>Thank you.<br>
