Even with Firewall and Defender turned completely off it displays this message from the bminer:

"Connection failed due to A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond., retrying in 5 seconds"

I've tried countless other miners also, and they just wont connect.

Yeah im not sure what to try now.. i've added exceptions through the firewall and defender and neither program will connect to the server. I'm at a loss as what to do now...

Thanks for the helpful advice and replying!

I’m currently using Windows Defender and have mined on the pool for a few days no problem. It’s just randomly done it where it says failed to connect, I’ll try some more trouble shooting when I’m back home.

Thats good for you! Ive tried with the zm miner through the setup generator and the bminer and both for me kick back saying connection failed.

Not sure what to do, want to mine and push this pool to finding the block..

Let me clarify,

I was not talking about shares not updating.. the miner itself (which is the miner downloaded through the setup generator) says it cannot connect to the coinfoundry server, then will automatically close itself.

Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the original post.
