Unable to connect to Logos.com

Problem:

When you attempt to sign in to Logos, a message comes up saying it is "Unable to connect to Logos.com."

Solution 1:

Check your Internet Connection. If you are connecting through a Wireless Network, try moving closer to the Router, or plugging directly in to the router to improve Network Performance.

Solution 2: (Windows Users)

Make sure your computer is up to date on the latest Root Certificates by running Windows Update (They're in the Optional Updates section). Please continue running updates until the Root Certificates update is no longer available. When Logos attempts to log in to our server, it needs the latest Root Certificates to verify our servers as trusted.

Logos uses a Secure Connection to connect to the servers. If you do not have current Root Certificates, Logos will not be able to establish a Trusted connection. This can also occur if your Certificates are current, but your System Clock is not. You may want to check your computer's Date & Time settings to make sure the date is set correctly.

Solution 3:

Do you connect through a Firewall or Proxy Server? If you have the latest Root Certificates, and you are otherwise able to access the internet, it is possible your Security Systems are filtering us out. Most Firewall softwares come with an "Exceptions" list, which you can use to allow access by specific programs. Try adding Logos Bible Software 5 (logos5.exe & logos5Indexer.exe) to that Exceptions list.

Or, if you are using a Proxy Server, we try to grab the Proxy Settings automatically, but you can enter them manually by holding the CTRL Key while Logos is opening. Click on "Proxy settings" to enter your HTTP Address and Credentials (if you don't know your credentials, your network administrator should be able to assist you).

Solution 4:

If you use CyberSitter or a similar Internet Filtering software, you may want to try uninstalling or disabling it. If that resolves the problem, contact the software publisher for help adding Logos to an Exceptions List for your filtering software.
