Unable to access any web pages under https://guix.gnu.org

Unable to access any web pages under https://guix.gnu.org

[Ashvith Shetty]

Hello,
From almost a few weeks ago, I am unable to access https://guix.gnu.org/,
as well as any of the related pages - especially manuals, both for the
current version and for the development branch. I was able to make use of
free web proxy services to access the page, but they no longer work. I do
not have access to the manual page on the web anymore. How can I get access
to these manuals once again?

Slightly unrelated, but https://ci.guix.gnu.org wasn't working for me for
some days - however, I can access the page once more.
https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org, which was the fastest and also, the primary
mirror for my use, has completely stopped working for me.

The manuals are probably on your hard drive. Please use C-h R in Emacs
or use your favorite stand-alone info reader.

Expert tip:  Use 'i' to search the index.

We have some temporary service issues, which are detailed here:

Thanks for using Guix!

Kind regards

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. I don't feel comfortable using GNU info, as
opposed to reading the web page/PDF, as I have never used Emacs
before.

About the server going online again, I can't still access them, and I
am forced to choose between using a free web proxy service, which
isn't really convenient, versus using GNU info, which I am struggling
to use.

Is there a way to diagnose this issue? Here's the log when I try to
ping https://guix.gnu.org:
```console
$ ping -c 5 guix.gnu.org
PING guix.gnu.org (185.233.100.56): 56 data bytes
--- guix.gnu.org ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
```

Regards.
