Cannot update everest or even access https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/

[pale vector]

I've tried updating Everest, both in Everest and through Olympus, but it keeps failing with the attached error log.

Worth noting is that https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/ is inaccessible to me both through browser and for Olympus, which seems to be the cause for my issue. Is this a local issue?

Another example is https://github.com/EverestAPI/Olympus/releases/download/v21.01.11.07/Olympus.exe which is referenced here https://everestapi.github.io/#installing-everest that is also unavailable to me. Other websites including just regular https://github.com/EverestAPI/Olympus/ works fine

Of course I might just be misunderstanding things.

Do you live in a country where parts of the internet are blocked, like Russia or China?

[pale vector]

No, I'm in Sweden

Do all the links work for you?

[lapis wedge]

first one no
olympus exe yes

Something is probably terribly wrong with my computer then. This isn't an everest issue anymore. Should I delete this post?

release-assets.githubusercontent.com is not a thing

no, I think it is interesting

I wonder if GitHub is experiencing issues. When you say the Olympus.exe download is inaccessible, what do you mean?

The olympus.exe url just leads to

The connection has timed out
for me. I cannot access that download in a browser (ofc I could technically access it through gamebanana, but that's just an example of me not being able to accesss release-assets which is referenced in the sharp error log

This is the part that makes me think this Everest update issue is caused by me being unable to access release-assets:

(A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (release-assets.githubusercontent.com:443))

I can't access https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/ either.

nslookup release-assets.githubusercontent.com

it's my ISPs DNS that is blocking it as "nätskydd" or web protection

Ah yes, it's like that one blunder when my work decided to block GitHub because it has bad things on it (I'm a developer)

and mine resolves to a local ip address?

@timber wind try another DNS like this:

Server:  one.one.one.one
Address:  1.1.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    release-assets.githubusercontent.com
Addresses:  185.199.109.133
          185.199.111.133
          185.199.108.133
          185.199.110.133```

I get the correct addresses when ssh'ed into one of my servers on another network, so I imagine something is misconfigured on my network.

Update on this, my mesh router false flags the GitHub release assets URL as malware, which I've fixed by disabling the malware check
