Hello, 

Running free community edition Veaam backup agent for Linux on RHEL9.3. For the past few days I am getting an error when checking for the update from Veaam repository. This is the same repo I initially used to install the agent. Is there another Veeam repo that I can use for RHEL9?

Hi @vmlxnetwork! The certificate of the repository got changed recently and maybe that's the reason your seeing this error. Do you still see this when you try it now?

Yeah, still get the same error.

What happens if you directly access the mentioned URL, for example via wget or from your browser?

Now this is new and really sucks!!! 

The Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured to block access from your country. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.

I am connecting from Belarus and what did we the regular folk ever do to deserve this region block by Veeam? 

Unfortunately I don’t have any details on this, but maybe you can open a support case; this is even possible with the free agent.

 

They blocked the website entirely. I get 403 Forbidden when I try to open it. https://www.veeam.com/ 
I’m not going to bother accessing it with vpn. 
Thanks for you time
