Hi everyone. I’m new to endeavouros. And now I have a problem with gitlab. When I try to reach the site ([https://gitlab.com/EndeavourOS](https://gitlab.com/EndeavourOS)) I get blewo error: “You are currently viewing from a blocked IP address or country.” What should I do? Can I change it to github or sth else? It’s hard to use a VPN all the time ☹ ---

Due to speed and connection issues, I prefer not to use a VPN. Are the features/services that the operating system relies on GitLab for also available on GitHub or other platforms? Is it possible to redirect these requests to GitHub or other alternatives? And how? ---

> [@Archlearner](#): > > Are the features/services that the operating system relies I’m not sure what your getting at here. I mean I get the ISO and just update through paru (yay is installed by default) so what are you trying to do that requires you to use the github/gitlab? ---

I’ve had a lot of unresolved issues with updating keys (PGP/GPG). I tried various solutions suggested online, but nothing worked so far. At this point, I think I might need to manually reinstall or configure things. I’m starting to suspect the problem might be related to GitLab (e.g., repository configuration or key syncing). ---
