Network issues

Hi, I got a problem here related to the network and connection. I am completely new to this OS. Once I installed Devuan, everything was fine, Firefox worked fine with no issues, but when I tried to check for updates, it didn't let me connect to the official Devuan repo and I was stuck at 0%. I tried pinging DNS and HTTPS addresses they worked fine but when I tried to ping any HTTP site, it just didn't show up at all. For the clarification, yes I do know that the official repo is HTTP based. I simply need a solution on how do I permit a connection on HTTP sites

Re: Network issues

What does "check for updates" mean for you?

Some people would use the command  sequence in a terminal, as root:

# apt-get update
# apt-get -s upgrade

which would report on available package upgrades.

Re: Network issues

I used this:

sudo apt update

Just to check apt package updates

Couldn't connect to http://deb.devuan.org. It showed only this:

0% [Connecting to deb.devuan.org]

And stayed frozen like this, HTTP doesn't work at all
