[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello. I cannot access GNU Guix related sites. I tried downloaded the GNU Guix System via VPN, but I can't install it on my ThinkPad because installer can't connect to the Guix's servers (such as guix.gnu.org or ci.guix.gnu.org), because all russian IPs was banned. I tried installing old images, but that doesn't help. I wrote to guix.gnu.org <at> gnu.org and to IRC's channel #guix, but they couldn't help me. Also, I can connect (without VPN) to all GNU and FSF sites, except the GNU Guix's sites.

Can you tell me how I can install it? Or when will GNU Guix unban russian IPs? I don't know what I should to do.

P.S. I really want to try the GNU Guix System with GNU Guix and GNU Shepherd because I don't really like Trisquel (has systemd), which I use.

I can recommend to configure VPN on a router as a temporary solution. You can also clone GUIX repos on some other device (with VPN) and use it for installation.

It's not Guix itself but rather the datacenter where the machines are
hosted: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2022-03/msg00019.html>

Indeed; while not a very satisfying situation, using a VPN may be your
best bet.  I hear there also is a mirror in China that may work for you,
although I have never used it myself.

Closing for now as there's little that can be done at the moment.
Hopefully this motivates people to pick up work on enabling peer-to-peer
substitutes via GNUnet!

Thanks,

Maxim
