Cannot access to build.opensuse.org & software.opensuse.org on certain networks

[neifua]

Hi,

I have been having troubles accessing to build.opensuse.org and software.opensuse.org on my hotspot and WiFi, I use an old laptop of mine as a hotspot while having the laptop plugged with an Ethernet cable, usually if I connect via the Ethernet cable then I’m able to access the websites but if turning on hotspot from that same device and connect to that hotspot on my other device then I can’t access the websites. I also have 2 different WiFi and both have different type of security, 1 is WPA1/WPA2 (this one is able to access the websites both Ethernet plugged in or wireless network connection) the other one is WPA2 (this one cannot access the websites).

I found some workaround but this isn’t persistent and sometimes it doesn’t even work.

1. Use Cloudflare WARP: This one works fine but then I can’t really access some certain websites that blocks VPN like chatgpt.com or claude.ai, then I tried with warp-cli tunnel host add <website.com> at first it worked but then it stopped working for some reason even if I re-add the VPN blocked websites.

2. Set up a Proxy with WARP: This one let me access both but then when I try to push a package to OBS via osc CLI then I got this issue:

HTTPSConnection(host='api.opensuse.org', port=443): Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

So obviously this doesn’t really work either, so I want to ask for help with accessing the websites on certain networks. I’m not an expert in networking so I’d really appreciate any helps and instructions given.

Thanks in advance.

This reads more like an external networking issue than an OBS or openSUSE-specific problem.

A few useful things to test to help characterize the issue:

ping build.opensuse.org
ping software.opensuse.org

curl -Iv https://build.opensuse.org
curl -Iv https://api.opensuse.org

tracepath build.opensuse.org
tracepath api.opensuse.org

You could also temporarily test disabling IPv6 to see whether this is a broken IPv6 routing issue on the affected networks perhaps.

Ultimately, you may need to contact the proxy/VPN provider or network operator for assistance, as they would be in a better position to investigate routing, or other network-related issues on their side.

Really thank you for your reply, I have solved by just buying a USB to Ethernet adapter, so I can freely access the websites now.
