AUR is inaccessible from Turkey—a misconfiguration?
For the last few hours, many users from Turkey—including myself—have reported issues in accessing to the AUR. After realizing that it had been accessible with a VPN, we have checked out local government blocklists (<https://www.usom.gov.tr/adres> and <https://internet.btk.gov.tr/sitesorgu/>) where the aur.archlinux.org subdomain is not listed. And, a government block in Turkey would not return ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED either, it would be a landing page. I am suspecting a misconfiguration on server-side. Can anyone check it? Best regards,

Maybe just a routing issue with the current ddos handling. From my side, I have the same error several times per day, with or without vpn. Salutations, Julien On Tue, Aug 26, 2025, 16:43 Julien Virey <julien.virey@gmail.com> wrote:
