Hi, have you tried updating your mirrors, can you post the error in full that you are getting?

As far as that host:port pairs are closed by out regulator with DPI (deep protocol injection), I just get timeout.
You say about updating mirrors, but are you sure it is some way related to AUR?

I assume you are not including the parenthesis in the URL.

It should be
https://aur.archlinux.org/
which works for me.

Parenthesis just denote both protocols - http and https, and you can see on terminal output I’m telnet-ing to both appropriate ports.
Yes, it does work for you, but not for me. As I have said, for some reason these protocols are forbidden for this IP address by regulator in my country (I guess as subset of wider IP addresses range).
So we return to initial question: is there AUR mirror? I would just add a record into /etc/hosts.

There really isn’t an AUR mirror. The Arch team may replicate and load balance the servers. They basically send your AUR helper the PKGBUILD file and your AUR helper follows the script within that and does the deed.

You could try downloading the PKGBUILD for some package and running that locally. But you might hit further internet blockages.
