Time machine and networking issues

[Omoeba]

When a time machine backup to a network target is running while Malwarebytes Malware Protection is enabled, networking sometimes stops working, with web pages and commands like curl and wget timing out. However, ping remains working. See my messages from this thread for more information. The issue with third-party apps launching is most likely due to the OCSP check timing out. I most recently reproduced the issue with Malwarebytes 4.13.5 and macOS 12.0.1 Monterey.

Can you try adding your Time Machine network drive to the Allow List in Malwarebytes and see if that makes any difference?

I've added every folder with containing the name "timemachine" in /Volumes to the allow list. The issue hasn't occurred again yet and I'll make another comment if it does. Thank you!

It's been a week and the issue hasn't occurred since so I think adding the drive to the allow list has worked around it.
