surun 1.2.1.4 times out (sometimes)

mbach

Dear all,
I am using surun since many years and really like the way to get su privileges.
Under Windows 10 I investigated some troubles over the years, and I am not sure, wether I made something wrong,

First of all thanks to Kay for this wonderful piece of software!!!
Everything works like expected!

Sometimes, whithout any real corelation, there seems to be a timeout caused by surun.
Possible timeout scenarios:
a) Run surun/setup as a surun-user: desktop blures, but hangs with message "no repsonse, could be caused by HIPS (host intrustion protection sofware)
b) Connect to files server over VPN (OpenVPN): sometimes connection just hangs, but will work after 5-10 seconds. This behavior is not reproducable...

Anyone else having similar problems? How did you solve it?
I add my config in the next post.

Thanks, Markus

Hello Markus,

I can't see anything wrong in your configuration.

Usually SuRun runs into timeouts,

when it checks permissions that are granted/denied by a non available resource, like a turned off server
I would guess that this is the problem's cause on your system
when it is blocked by other Software, such as HIPS or Antivirus Scanners.
