failed reaching http://mirrors.elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el8 from racknerd vps
so I am moving on from one provider to another and setting up a new vps.
I went to add the elrepo repository and it appears the mirror list is unreachable from my vps. I went with racknerd in Atlanta.
wget http://mirrors.elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el8
works from all my machines and locations except for this one.
This message has led me to believe it may be blocked
https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1262
the temp solution was to comment out the mirrors line in
/etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
my public racknerd ip is in this range 23.94.91.2XX
thanks

Yesterday my hetzner vps got the same.
So I'm thinking this is elrepo-site error.
thanks for the reply. I did see in the above url the op got his connection back the next day. And they do admit ongoing issues. I will try it again in a day or 2 if I dont forget :-)
It is just the mirror list that is blocked
for me right now I could reach the elrepo mirror from my home isp, a vps in canada and another one in Japan. only the atlanta one wouldnt connect.
a working connection
an apparently blocked connection. Looks like it ends up in Russia ?
We have contacted elrepo staff, because one of our prefixes wes banned. Their response was:
Yes it is still blocked from IP 23.94.91.2XX . My guess is my little neighborhood of Colocrossing / Racknerd is in the same situation. The workaround worked for me.
