Can you ping them?
I ask because my son’s school recently blocked ping.
Using the switch, Adrian suggested will bypass the check entirely

I have a root certificate that I need in order to access internet on my proxy, and I think that MXPI is maybe not reading that certificate correctly.

They ping correctly.
I tried creating the config file and pasting in the line that Adrian suggested but it didn't help.

Not solved yet. I can ping the sites, but MXPI is still not working.

Sorry, I think the config file is read from /root/.config/MX-Linux/mx-packageinstaller.conf (it might depend how you launch the program), so add the "skiponlinecheck=true" there too.

Good question. Maybe I marked it accidentally, or maybe someone else marked it?
In any case, lemme try Adrian's updated suggestion, and then I will unmark it if necessary...

That fixed it. Thanks!

You are welcome, I have one more request from me, can you please remove that setting and try a new build of MX PackageInstaller where I try to detect the proxy?
If it doesn't work, please let me know and of course, add back the setting in the .conf file
The build is our github repo:
