Title: Mirror down?
Post by: iammike on July 20, 2023, 12:44:55 PM
I am trying to change my Mirror to a closer one to home

But this one fails to connect

https://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/opnsense/releases/23.1/OPNsense-23.1-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img.bz2

I can access https://yzu.edu.tw though

Might be a hiccup, not sure. For now I always get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN for the domain.


Cheers,
Franco

Thx @Franco

Unfortunately the other Domain in TW is not listed in the mirror section in Opnsense itself, can only download the ISO's from there.

That one is very fast for me

I am talking about "Nantou County Education Network Center"

You can add it as a manual mirror. Usually if these mirrors are not listed in the firmware they did not grant permission to use the mirror in that way for updates. It can't be avoided and shouldn't, but some might want to protect their bandwidth with hundreds of thousands of users perhaps wanting to use this mirror at the same time. ;)
