In the OSX installation... the orientation is to install Mono Runtime and Mono Develop for OS X (tested with 2.10.11).
However, for newest OSX versions only Mono 5.x or earlier can be installed (success with MonoFramework-MDK-5.20.1.34.macos10.xamarin.universal).
In the Linux installation.. the orientation is to use Mono 5.x or earlier (tested with 5.10.8.1).
I´d would like to know if are there plans to update OSX installation procedures?
Or any way to do this installation not resulting error:

I am already using Google and OpenDNS.
And I am able to ping bing.com
Thanks.
I did try to install Mono using Brew: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mono
Added Mono installation log, with ca-certificate updates, etc.
Same error persist.
maybe give webgarb V5.x a try.
it requires dotnet 6.0
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
read carefully when your install,all you need is the .net runtime 6.0 NOT aspnet core or any sdk.
on that page look on the right side and the last one in the row..
.NET Runtime 6.0.15
get the installer or binaries(whiched way you want to install it)
for webgrab itself,downloads are here..
http://webgrabplus.com/download/sw
download V4.2.2 and install it
this version needs dotnet 5.0 but dont worry about that as your just going to use it for the start files(run.net.sh),ect.
next download V5.0.1
extract the files,beta versions have no installer(thats why we used V4.2.2 first)
copy and replace the files in the bin.net directory.
V5.0.1 is the one that needs dotnet 6.0
you dont have to remove V3.x
you can have V3.x and V4.x or V5.x installed at the same time(V3.x uses run.sh,V4.x,V5.x use run.net.sh)
Perfect...
Only to complete your step-by-step:
1) Download and install .NET Runtime 6.0.15 installer: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
2) Reboot
3) Download and unpack Webgrab 4.2.2
4) Execute ./install.sh
5) Edit WebGrab++.config.xml file wit your user informations between xxxxxxxxx
6) Download and unpack Webgrab 5.0.1
7) Replace bin.net folder inside 4.2.2 installation with bin.net folder from Webgrab 5.0.1
8) Execute ./run.net.sh
no need for reboot unless osx asks for it.
for linux it is not required.
Both installers don´t ask for reboot, but it is necessary (OSX 12.x tested).
OSX does not recognize .NET and Mono CLI commands without reboot.
Added daily updates in OSX using CRON
Using the same user that you are running WG++ manually:
1) Open Terminal app
2) type: crontab -e
3) type the following command: /usr/local/bin/dotnet "//bin.net/WebGrab+Plus.dll" "/"
4) save and exit the editor
** path to dotnet command in item 3 can be different, like: //usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet
** full path to WG++ folder remove < and >
Hii Allzamerica,
