aur locked in RF?

when I try to download something from AUR using yay, it outputs errors:
```
yay -S yay
-> 1 error occurred:
* request failed: Get " https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg%5B%5D … e=info&v=5 ": dial tcp 95.216.144.15:443: i/o timeout

-> Failed to find AUR package for yay:1 error occurred:
* request failed: Get " https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg=yay&b … search&v=5 ": dial tcp 95.216.144.15:443: i/o timeout

-> No AUR package found for yay
there is nothing to do
```

---

errors occur when trying to update yay:
```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
Cloning into 'yay'...
fatal: unable to access ' https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git/ ': Failed to connect to aur.archlinux.org port 443 after 135755 ms: Could not connect to server
```

if you enable the proxy (I use vless, and the local host is on socksh5), then everything works fine. what does the ping have to do with aur.archlinux.org it goes with and without a proxy, but the browser opens the same aur.archlinux.org only with the proxy enabled.
by the way, yay used to work even without a proxy (at least the environment variables export http(s)_proxy were not set)

provider - RTK, Krasnodar

Re: aur locked in RF?

AUR shouldn't block any country but does have temporary ip-address bans.
Those typically last 24 hours, wait that long and try again.

If you're still blocked then , send  a message to aur general mailing list

Re: aur locked in RF?

You'd however get a status code and not ghosted?

Can you acces wiki.archlinux.org ?
(it's like the AUR on a hetzner server in Helsinki - 135.181.27.174 - if somebody's playing foul here, you'd expect the kindergarten to extend there)

curl -v  95.216.144.15 

should get you 404 (on #80)

curl -v http://aur.archlinux.org/

301 (moved to https)

curl -vL http://aur.archlinux.org/

the AUR webpage.

I see that this hasn't been closed or marked as solved so apologies upfront if it appears as if I'm bumping this thread.

I reside in Cape Town, SA

I've had no problems accessing:

https://archlinux.org/ 

https://bbs.archlinux.org/ 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page 

These are the errors that I've been getting in the terminal when trying to access the AUR as well as the AUR portion of the Arch website

* request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg=handbrake&by=name-desc&type=search&v=5": dial tcp 95.216.144.15:443: i/o timeout

* request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc?arg=yay&by=name-desc&type=search&v=5": net/http: TLS handshake timeout

Sod's law, as I finished typing this, it seems as if the problem has resolved itself for the time-being? Pretty much have been struggling with this the whole day.

Thank you.

Edit: It hasnt actually resolved itself seems to be happening again!

Re: aur locked in RF?

Check status.archlinux.org , the aur had problems, also look at the sticky topics.
