Yesterday a Creative Cloud update notification appeared, I started the download but it stopped at 5%.
Then all the network connections of the Mac stopped (MacPro 2013 / Big Sur) and it was impossible to connect with every web sites with both Safari and Firefox.
The only workaround was a hard quit of Creative Cloud and a restart of the Mac.
This morning I tried again, and the same thing happened, then I tried a third time but it was the same.
Every time the update stopped at 5% and in that moment also the internet connection stopped working (web, mail, ftp...).

Instead of doing the Creative Cloud update again, I tried downloading a new installer from here
https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop
I started it up, it got to 1% and then crashed and, as in the previous case, from that moment on the internet connection crashed. I had to restart the Mac in order to work again.

THANK YOU!
I quit LuLu (an alternative to Little Snitch) and AdGuard and now the Creative Cloud installer works!
But I've been using them for years and until yesterday they had never blocked Creative Cloud updates.
