Hi
For a while now I have struggled with a problem when trying to connect to a Ignition Edge gateway (8.3.2) from several computers, within the network and through VPN. Reading from a launch_error-log it seems like it struggles with downloading a file called “security-8.3.2.jar”
For “fun” I tried to put the url in a browser, where it also started downloading the file, but stops at around 15kb, eventually timing out.
Designer launcher is 1.3.2 on my computer and the problematic Ignition Edge is installed on ma Windows 10 IOT PC. I tried Ignition 8.1.50 earlier, and it worked ok.
I tried to set "signature.verification.strength": "LOOSE" in the designer-launcher.json on my computer(s).
There is no problem connecting to a similar Ignition Edge with same version on a Wago Edge PC.
I’ve tried disabling the firewall
Downloading "http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:8088/system/jar/m/security-8.3.2.jar" (timeout=60000)...
Connect successful.
Starting download of 18755 bytes
Only read 15551 bytes in 60018ms!
Download attempt #2 for file security-8.3.2.jar failed.
Has anyone experienced this before? Looking for some tips on what to check.

You're going to need to look at AV/security software, firewalls, VPN configurations, etc...
10000% it's something doing packet/traffic inspection and a false positive is triggering on the contents of that JAR file.
