[Windows <10 only?] System.Exception: No unused port found! #301
Comments
Same happens to me |
Which Windows Version are you using?
Do you have any user or firewall restrictions?
Could you try to start KeePass with admin/elevated permissions?
The ports are only required for authentication. Once authenticated you can
use KeeAnywhere without any elevated permissions.

Hi @Kyrodan, I'm so sorry for the late response.
By the way, I'm using "Keepass 2.47" and "KeeAnywhere 2.0.3". Thank you |
I confirm that 2.0.3 fails authentication (on Windows 8.1) unless KeePass is Run as Administrator. |
Hi John,
thank you for your feedback. I know this is an issue and maybe someone
would even stop using it. That's okay for me. But please do not demand
something from an author of a free software in this kind of manner. I
develop it in my spare time and this not my main job. I release it and you
can use it or not. If you file a bug, maybe I take a look into it. Treat it
like a gift or free beer, but never ever explain about it that way.
If you would like to fix this issue you are welcome to file a pull request.
If you are not a programmer then maybe you could find the reason for the
different behavior between Windows 8.1 and 10.
Thanks and regards,
Daniel

This is a *serious issue* that urgently needs to be fixed. Otherwise I
will have to stop recommending it.
Thank you.

Please don't presume to tell me what to do. I'm an experienced, expert software professional with both FOSS and non-FOSS to my credit. When I offer software to the public, I make a commitment, because those who use it deserve my best work and to not be harmed. Making it free does not relieve me of that responsibility. You may not care about your reputation, but I care about mine, deeply. When I recommend software to colleagues, clients, and the public, I likewise put my reputation on the line, because they expect me to carefully vet my recommendations and to stand behind them. That's why I cannot recommend unsupported software. Lastly, if you do want help, then you might not want to start with criticism. "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." |
If you are a FOSS-Developer, I'm sure you wouldn't discuss topics the way you do. Take a look to your reported issues in other repositories, it's often the same. Maybe you have FOSS activities, maybe not - none a filed in your GitHub Profile.
You can do it that way in your projects. But that's not my understanding and I always make this clear.
Come on, stop dreaming! In FOSS there is no support you can rely on unless you pay for it or a company is supporting the project. I'm a single developer - like many others - that is doing it in their spare time. Help is appreciated but your kind of comments are clearly unwanted by me. I think we should stop this discussion here, we put all our arguments in this issue. If you find a proper way to support Windows 8.1, please file a PR. Otherwise I don't think this issue will be fixed by me: I don't have the proper ressources for this. |
Can someone with this problem please post the output of On windows 10 it looks like
|
@Kyrodan It looks like the same on Windows 8.1
Note: When I see the new messages in the issue, I tried to use the "Run as administrator" button again. It worked, and I don't get errors anymore. I have no idea why it didn't work before. |
@Kyrodan The basic reason is that KeePass lacks cloud support, but, as the saying goes, "there's more than one way to skin a cat," and virtual drive is a better way (for a number of reasons) to access the cloud. Since I use Google Drive, which has virtual drive capability, it was a no brainer: I simply moved my KeePass files from OneDrive to Google Drive, where KeePass now accesses them via virtual drive without any plugin. I also use Keepass2Android, and it has cloud support, so that was just a simple reconfiguration. KeePass is now working better than before, with no plugin needed. p.s. For those who prefer to use a cloud service other than Google Drive, it's easiest to use one with virtual drive capability, but you can otherwise use Mountain Duck. (It's also possible to use OneDrive with Windows native Network Drive functionality, but it's a hassle to set up properly.) |
KeePass 2.48.1 Same issue, but if I run it as Administrator, it works fine.
Windows 7 x64:

Hi, I too am having this issue. In my case, with Google Drive. KeePass 2.48.1 Windows 7 x64
For me, starting KeePass as administrator got it to work, but that defeats the point. When I launched KeePass as a regular user, the account was missing from the account list again. This makes sense; presumably the KeeAnywhere account details are stored in the user's AppData. Interestingly, this very same laptop was previously using KeeAnywhere 2.0.3 successfully. This didn't just appear when I updated. Here's the full error message details, if it's helpful. I'm afraid I'm not much of a C# programmer, but I would like to get this fixed and I'm happy to help however I can. Please let me know anything I can do. |
@Kyrodan
It sounds ridiculous, however windows denies attached gist to test this problem. paste into test project. tested in Windows 7 x64. |
@finejustice @Kyrodan It works! I tried changing the Oidc URI to localhost and it fixed the problem at least for Google Drive on Windows 7 x64. More background on this bug: Completely Unanswered Questions

I just tried it in Windows 10 and it seems to work here too. |
Faced this issue too. In my case, with Google Drive All works just fine on my home laptop with Win 11, but it doesn't on work desktop with Win 8.1. Win 8.1, KeePass 2.51.1, KeeAnywhere 2.0.3 |
KeePass 2.48.1
KeyAnywhere 2.0.3
Windows 7 x64
In KeyAnywhere Settings, Accounts,
When I attempt to add an account of type Dropbox, Dropbox-Restricted, Google Drive, HiDrive, and OneDrive, there is an error message "System.Exception: No unused port found!"
There is also a hang for a few seconds before the error message displays, for all of those except the two Dropbox options. The two Dropbox options instantly display the error.
Thanks !!
