Hello,
I configured joplin on my android smartphone and my linux PC and it’s work great but now I’m trying to set up on my windows PC and I can’t connect. How to do this ?
the error :
request to https://XXXXX/remote.php/webdav/xxxx/ failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 213.186.33.40:443 (Code ETIMEDOUT)
Thank you in advance
hi and welcome
which joplin version do you use ?
I use Joplin 1.0.151 (win32)
The log file :

Yes I can connect in a web browser but I have this message :
This is the WebDAV interface. It can only be accessed by WebDAV clients such as the Nextcloud desktop sync client.Did you do this on the Windows machine? The reason I ask is that the error message you received hints that the connectdion to that server or address is blocked. Why would you receive a timeout otherwise?
IMO a personal firewall or Windows blocks something.
Yes I did it on my windows machine and it works.
So I don’t understand why it doesn’t work on Joplin application …
Right, I'm not sure I understand this either. On macOS I use LittleSnitch, where I have to allow applications to connect to remote resources. Maybe you use something similar on Windows.
But I believe there was a sync issue with 1.0.151. Could you try with 1.0.152?
@laurent Do you have some more insights? I am really not the person to help with Windows issues. What would be a reason for a ETIMEDOUT error code.
P.S.: Maybe I should setup Windows in a VM and start looking into Windows again.(I don’t even know how to buy a Windows copy.) The last time I installed Windows was NT Server 3.1 or 3.51.
I don’t know but it’s not a bug in Joplin. It’s just a timeout probably due to config error, firewall like you said, or something else.
Maybe a problem with cert validation?
How can I verify that there is a certificate problem?
Can you try a non-https url?
Instead of
https://myserver/remote.php/webdav/...
use
http://myserver/remote.php/webdav/...
I have exactly the same error with non-https link 
Maybe check your proxy settings? If your computer is at work, there’s a good chance some proxy is involved somewhere.
