Hi All,

I see for some time that the link to Cloudflare CDN is broken.
https://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html says it is
https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ but it gives 404.

It looks like Cloudflare removed /pub/ and renamed to lowercase OpenBSD
so the link that works is https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/openbsd/.

Also, the Fastly (CDN) mirror frequently (like half the times) gives
connection errors, at least using it from Latin America. The IPs I get
from different LA countries are 151.101.2.217 (Brazil) & 151.101.218.217
(Argentina). ftp.openbsd.org works always so when I get errors with
Fastly, I switch to it and it works well (but slowly), or to Cloudflare
which works well too and it's fast (at the modified URL).

The Fastly errors are of the form "connection closed at byte xxx", "ftp:
connect: operation timed out \n signify: gzheader truncated", something
like "no valid ip address found" and similar. Probably it's a faulty or
overloaded server serving some LA countries?


And right now I'm getting an invalid cert error for
https://firmware.openbsd.org. It resolves to 145.238.209.46
(pond.obspm.bsdfrog.org) and 94.142.244.34. The certificate is only
valid for the following names: distfiles.bsdfrog.org, emma-en-quete.com,
ftp.fr.openbsd.org, pond.obspm.bsdfrog.org, pond.stats.bsdfrog.org,
portroach.openbsd.org, www.emma-en-quete.com. Not sure if it's a
configuration error of some mirror server or something else.

I know that the firmware as well as all other files are checked with
signify so https is not strictly required for authenticity (though it
does for privacy) and I don't remember if this domain has ever worked
via https before, anyway just in case there's really some misconfiguration.

Regards,
Anatoli
