If the steps in the article (disable Always Offline, clear cache, check connection, reinstall) do not help, you will most likely need to contact AxCrypt technical support (as per their suggested email). At the same time, you can check the network/vpn/firewall configuration that is preventing AxCrypt from connecting to the outside (HTTPS port 443, AxCrypt domain whitelist).
