@CiberSheep

is it not necessary to import the public key in your local gpg ?
gpg --import <pubkey.gpg
where pubkey is the result of

wget http://repo2.ubports.com/pubkey.gpg

@mariogrip ah! The rat is out:

Provider is blocking the repo2 also:

I have filed a complaint to the internet provider via the OCU. I guess they'll day it's not their fault.
Next shot might be UBports as foundation to file a complaint via https://ec.europa.eu/solvit/index_en.htm

My guess is that the blockage, being two Sundays in a row might be because of the tele more info also here.

Edit: Some users on Mastodon suggested to take a look at OONI as they start gathering information this subject.

Again today. And some other webs (control panel from my web hosting). Good!
(BTW I got a VPN, so we're good). Internet provider told me to use Tor (how progressive)

I'm using OONI to record the issue

I got an «answer». Please note that I'm being blocked (and everyone that connects from a Spanish network) to several websites because, literally «security reasons». «Security reasons» means that a football business is blocking random IPs because they think they are pirating their signal. Also, the «security reasons» are intermittent as you can see in the logs of OONI.
The more it goes, the more IPs that are being blocked (it seems).

My next step is going to the European Síndic de Greuges (that I don't know how it's called in English)
