After 168 update, get error message when trying to download IPS ruleset

Security Intrusion Prevention
1

Get the following message when trying to download a IPS providers ruleset:
“Could not add provider - Unable to download the ruleset: Can’t connect to rules.emergingthreats.net:443 (Name or service not known)”. This occurs on all available rule set options. Was working fine on level 164. IPS stopped working when I updated to 168 level. Any ideas???

Update on this problem: I was looking various logs and found this error in the PakFire log:
DOWNLOAD INFO: HTTP-Status-Code: 500 - 500 Can’t connect to pakfire.ipfire.org:443 (Name or service not known)

Can I assume they are related???

The two errors are related in the source of the error.
‘Name or service not known’ means there is a problem with DNS.
