Would you like to add as your main Porteus server? [y/n]
At times my internet connection stays on, but everything https:// or Email-wise SMTP or SSL IMAP will not work. The only page https:// that will work is the confirmation page for that very WLAN.
Looking into the code of fastest-mirror I realized that it is a version I tweaked back in V2020-12-13 (I totally forgot about that. I blame the weirdness that was the lockdown-covid-madness back then up to mid/late 2021.
)Now I updated it to remove the possible error when someone else is on an open WLAN and stumbles upon the same wonkyness.
