<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Can you be more specific about the problem you are seeing? Are you seeing an error message when trying to upload your or search for other keys? If yes, please attach a screenshot.</p>
<p>Key server problems can have various causes.</p>
<p>Please open Terminal.app, paste the following command and post the output into this discussion.</p>
<pre>
<code>nslookup hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net</code>
</pre>
<p>Then execute the following command:</p>
<pre>
<code> echo "debug-level guru" >> ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
echo "debug-all" >> ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
echo "log-file /tmp/dirmngr.log" >> ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
killall dirmngr
gpg --keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --search-keys team@gpgtools.org</code>
</pre>
<p>After running these commands, please send us the /tmp/dirmngr.log file</p>
<pre>
<code>1. open finder and press ⇧⌘G
2. paste /tmp/dirmngr.log</code>
</pre>
<p>Once you are done, let's remove the debugging option:</p>
<pre>
<code>1. open finder and press ⇧⌘G
2. paste ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
3. open that file with TextEdit
4. remove the following lines
* debug-level guru
* debug-all
* log-file /tmp/dirmngr.log</code>
</pre>
<p>Now open Terminal.app again and execute the following commands:</p>
<pre>
<code>rm /tmp/dirmngr.log
killall dirmngr</code>
</pre>
<p>Another question: Are you using Little Snitch or any other firewall-like software on your mac? If so, please temporarily disable that software and repeat the process. Can you then connect to the key servers as expected?</p>
<p>Best,<br>
