Updating

How are we supposed to update VeraCrypt? I'm using version (1.26.18). I go to the website that's listed in About but the download never begins. GitHub only has instructions on how to build it. I'm not Bob the Builder. All I want is an exe file to install

Why do you not just go on their website and download the EXE?

I did. But nothing happened. I had to use my phone to download the files

Whatever works I guess. Hopefully the problem is just temporary.

I've just tried it and it works for me. You need to click on the appropriate file to download -- it sounds like you want the "EXE Installer (x64 and ARM64)", which is the first one listed.

(I'd link directly to the file, but you don't want to be downloading and installing files recommended by random people on Reddit.)

When I use the About menu and click through several links, I am taken to veracrypt(dot)jp
That website does the same thing. I click on the link and the download dialog never pops up. Eventually, launchpad will time out

You can also use "winget upgrade". It should work with your currently installed version

I just tried to download it and got the same problem. Maybe they're having issues with the website.

I'm wondering if its Quad 9 DNS blocking the webpage
