Invalid repositories | zypper issue | tumbleweed

Out of the blue, since yesterday evening I am getting repository-related timeouts from zypper, for these repositories:

  1. ‘Networking services and related tools (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)’ (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/editors/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/)
  2. ‘Text editors and hex editors for Linux (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)’ (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/)

Can this be a zypper issue or is it some repo config issue?

I tried clearing zypper’s repo cache, but it didn’t help

user@pc:~$ sudo zypper cc
All repositories have been cleaned up.
user@pc:~$ ls -l /var/cache/zypp/geoip.d/
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 17 Nov 14 21:53 download.opensuse.org
user@pc:~$ cat /var/cache/zypp/geoip.d/download.opensuse.org 
cdn.opensuse.org

The errors I get from zypper dup:

To my amazement, I was able to zypper dup without issues, when I disconnected my VPN. I didn’t think about it, because zypper dup never gave me trouble before yesterday, and my VPN was ALWAYS connected. :thinking:

Can it be something with the cdn service? :unamused:
