I have internet connection from the machine. I can go to any website, ping any domain, etc.
Nevertheless, even with extended timeout, eos-rankmirrors (as well as eos-welcome) keeps failing while reflector has no issue.
sudo eos-rankmirrors —verbose —sort rate
error detected at function Main, line 696: internet connection not available!
As a result
yay -Syu
fails.
What is eos-rankmirrors doing that reflector is not to assume there’s no internet connection?
How can I solve this issue?
I have no issue running this command on my system in my location. 
I agree that this is specific. I do not assume it doesn’t work for you.
My question is where the issue might come from? What can I do to have yay recognizing that the system has indeed internet connection.
Reflector populates my mirror list and I can successfully ping the mirrors from the same cli where eos-rankmirrors and yay fail.
How can I fix that?
Can you post the output of the commands?

@Loungagna
I don’t really know what the issue is on your end but i can tell you i can access all links.
reflector is not capable of generating EnOS’ mirrorlist.
It is for Arch’s mirrorlist:
sudo reflector --protocol https --verbose --latest 25 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
For endeavouros-mirrorlist, use this for now:
Comment out the servers you don’t want to use.
Using a VPN and/or some form of anti-tracking (DNS blacklists), can trip these things up.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I’m not using a DNS Blocked list or a VPN in thag instance.
eos-connection-checker is telling eos that the system has no internet connection while it does have (ping is successful).
So what does eos-connection-checker checks?

Are you able to try connecting via another means? Disconnecting completely from the current network and hot-spotting / tethering a phone for example?
What do commands
pacman -Q eos-rankmirrors
/bin/curl --silent --fail --connect-timeout 8 https://forum.endeavouros.com/faq >/dev/null && echo OK || echo FAIL
eos-rankmirrors --verbose -n
show?
Maybe the OP 's mirror lists are messed up for EOS?
Necessarily it is as they have used reflector to overwrite /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist: Eos-rankmirrors still failing - #9 by pebcak
I have wired and wifi. It fails on both. Let me try the phone hotspot to check. Thanks for the suggestion.
sudo pacman -Q eos-rankmirrors
eos-rankmirrors 24.4-1
/bin/curl --silent --fail --connect-timeout 8 https://forum.endeavouros.com/faq >/dev/null && echo OK || echo FAIL
OK
eos-rankmirrors --verbose -n
==> eos-rankmirrors: error: error detected at function Main, line 696:
internet connection not available!
Same result when using only the phone’s hotspot
Please post the url
cat /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist | eos-sendlog
