Question

sudo apt-get update not working for days now

Hey Have been debugging for 4 hours a stupid situation on Ubuntu 18.04 droplet When trying to update the droplet I get the following error and no other action is possible. Completely stuck on production.

ANY IDEA Please ??

Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:443 (91.189.91.38). - connect (111: Connection refused) Cannot initiate the connection to security.ubuntu.com:443 (2001:67c:1562::15). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:443 (185.125.190.36). - connect (111: Connection refused) Cannot initiate the connection to security.ubuntu.com:443 (2620:2d:4000:1::19). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:443 (91.189.91.39). - connect (111: Connection refused) Cannot initiate the connection to security.ubuntu.com:443 (2620:2d:4000:1::16). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:443 (185.125.190.39). - connect (111: Connection refused) Cannot initiate the connection to security.ubuntu.com:443 (2001:67c:1562::18). - connect (101: Network is unreachable)

Hi @managedolphin,

That’s quite odd, I’ll recommend contacting DigitlOcean’s support on the following link to help you out with the network issues:

Having said that, is it possible you’ve blocked some ports on your end?

Hope that helps! - KFSys.
