devkitPro

i do not seem to be able to access the devkitpro package server at all, my ip is seemingly being blocked.

i cant view the site for it, i cant download/update packages from it through pacman, nothing.

enabling a vpn fixes this problem instantly but having to rely on a vpn is very annoying, especially because having the devkitpro repositories setup in my pacman makes it completely impossible to update my system (im using arch linux for reference, im not using windows with something like msys2 or devkitpro pacman or whatever) unless i enable a vpn or remove the repositories which causes a lot of package conflicts.

i do not understand why i am blocked from the package server, as i have never attempted to use the package server at all until when i wanted to learn wii homebrew, i do have a dynamic ip, so my only leading theory at the moment is i got unlucky and my router swapped to an ip address that was already blocked by the server.

i have already sent an email to the support email about this 3 weeks ago including my ip address but never got a response, would be great if i got any response.

I don't see any recent emails about this issue in the support inbox atm sorry. Can you try emailing again?

i sent a new one, tried a different email this time, lemme know if it arrived

I found this one in spam - looks like you probably copied your ip address from a WhatsMyIP.com webpage & your email client put it in the email as an html link in white text on a white background

Have a try now. Should hopefully be OK
