Failed To Download Configuration Files Creative Destruction
Errors in Kali Linux 'W: Failed to fetch' and 'Due west: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.' (SOLVED)
ane. Cannot update Kali Linux considering errors
A couple of people in recent days wrote about errors when updating programs in Kali Linux. An example of 1 of the errors:
Hitting:ane https://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/kali kali-rolling InRelease Err:2 http://deb.i2p2.no unstable InRelease 502 Connection timed out [IP: 193.150.121.69 80] Reading package lists… Done W: Failed to fetch http://deb.i2p2.no/dists/unstable/InRelease 502 Connection timed out [IP: 193.150.121.69 80] Westward: Some index files failed to download. They accept been ignored, or old ones used instead.
An example of the 2nd error:
W: Failed to fetch https://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali-rolling/InRelease Could not find IP address for "http.kali.org"
The very first affair you need to check if you encounter similar problems, is everything all right with your Net connection – for case, open some web site.
If your Internet connection is alright, and then go on. Let's consider several examples of solving the trouble.
2. Specifying a certain Kali Linux update mirror
When updating Kali Linux, a request is fabricated to the host http.kali.org for a list of mirrors. The system then uses one of these mirrors to update. You can skip the stage of getting the listing of mirrors (referring to http.kali.org), and hardcode the desired mirror in the repository sources file /etc/apt/sources.list.
The OFFICIAL Kali Linux repository mirror listing is on this page: http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist:
On the territory of my country at that place is i mirror. In other countries, but on the aforementioned continent (EU), another 11 mirrors. And another 14 mirrors on other continents.
The mirror line looks similar this:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/kali.org/kali/README
Cutting /README from this line and become the mirror address:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/kali.org/kali
Open up the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
And enter the mirror address there instead of the ellipsis deb … kali-rolling main non-free contrib, for example:
deb http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/kali.org/kali kali-rolling main not-free contrib
At present a specific mirror will be used for the upgrade.
If the mirror is besides unavailable, use the following and so on until you find ane that works for you.
All other methods are self-sufficient – they do non require to alter the sources.list file.
3. How to bypass Internet access provider censorship to access Kali Linux servers
With TorIptables2 y'all tin enable redirection of all traffic through Tor. Accordingly, all IPs and web-sites blocked by Isp volition exist available.
Install Tor and TorIptables2
sudo apt install tor sudo systemctl start tor sudo systemctl enable tor git clone https://github.com/ruped24/toriptables2 cd toriptables2/ sudo mv toriptables2.py /usr/local/bin/ cd
Now, when you want to redirect all traffic through the Tor network (before updating, for example), simply run the command:
sudo toriptables2.py -l
To render to the normal settings, do:
sudo toriptables2.py -f
Attention : the words "all traffic" ways "all HTTP traffic. Some programs send raw packets and/or ignore organisation-wide proxy settings. TorIptables2 redirects traffic without usage of the proxy settings, but using the Iptables firewall, but with raw packets you still need to exist careful and double-check their path.
4. Redirecting traffic through the Tor network using Privoxy
With Privoxy, you can achieve exactly the same event equally with TorIptables2.
5. How to bypass ISP censorship using gratuitous VPNs
You can employ the autovpn program, which will find a free OpenVPN server for you, download the configuration file and connect to it. You can select the state in which y'all want a VPN. More details in the article "Complimentary easy way to hide IP in Linux".
As well the 'How to redirect all traffic through the Tor network' volition exist useful for y'all if you desire to use another tools to redirect traffic though Tor network.
