    Good idea, because it is impossible to block IPs using a hosts file. It is not a firewall. The sole purpose of a hosts file is to override DNS. You give it a host name and map it to an IP address, mapping a host to 0.0.0.0 just causes name lookup to fail.

    These are the hosts name for the IPs i found the plugin connecting to:
    (These 2 are triggered as soon you open the plugin)
    147.75.71.186 web.refx.com (This is always connecting everytime you change a preset too)
    54.70.136.156 ec2-54-70-136-156.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    (This is triggered after a while)
    52.42.114.201 ec2-52-42-114-201.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    My plugin(3.4.4) never connected to the 4th IP.
    I have seen that refusing connection to web.refx.com will trigger "This preset was created with an older version of Nexus 2, Nexus wasn't able to connect to the Cloud Conversion service" so the IP you need to unblock is the web.refx.com one. I'm not sure what are the other 2 IPs doing so i'll suggest to block them unless you get some errors with the plugin.

    yes this works, you can unpack for example the 3 ROMS XP and Synthwave 2 and everything will work. I have tested it and im going to do the same, because 20+k presets its just to much ...

    No the Factory are these 3 ROMS: ROM, ROMExt and ROMExt2 - thats the factory.

    and Synthwave 2 was just an example, all packs are independent from each other, you can unpack and use what you want.

    Well guys thanks a lot for the quick help while I was installing this giant rompler
    It works fine in Fl studio 20 win 10, new and old presets working really nice too with all the xpansions ok.
    Thanks again @ArticStorm for making this useful and informative post :wink:

    The only thing that doesnt work correctly is the search function, its hard to type in the box but if you spam clicks you can write letters one by one or just copy paste words from somewhere.

    Are the the older v2.0-2.2.2 decrypted presets useable on other hardware/system's? or is it locked to a specific ''fingerprint''?

    Haven't installed N3, just follow this thread and this question came to mind.

    No they are only encrypted, because this was the reaction on Dynamics bringing N1.
