Tenable Nessus: Proxy and plugin update troubles

If you have a firewall on your network, you must allow outgoing access from the scanner to the following addresses via TCP port 443/https:

plugins.nessus.org (4.59.136.208)
plugins-us.nessus.org (4.59.136.208)

Run your command line as administrator 

cd c:\program files\tenable\nessus net stop "Tenable Nessus"
nessus-fix --reset
y

Set your proxy if you have one (if not skip these steps):
nessus-fix --secure --set proxy=%IP or Hostname of Proxy% 
nessus-fix --secure --set proxy_port=%Port of Proxy% 
nessus-fix --secure --set proxy_username=%Username of Proxy% 
nessus-fix --secure --set proxy_password=%Password of Proxy%

Nessus-fetch --register <activation code> 

After it finishes updating the plugins run this:
Nessusd -R
Net start "Tenable Nessus"
