Hi there I just restarted my haiku box after a few weeks away and I’m getting an error when I try to update. I get the error that the repository is not found and the server is not found.
Is there a setting I need to change to update?

I have also troubles to update for the last two weeks. Sometimes the server is reachable for a little while then disappears again. 
I guess there’s something wrong with server or redirection as it doesn’t happen with others.

Check for the correct date and time?
Can confirm that I’m also currently experiencing this problem too.

Good that it isn’t impacting everyone; it may help solving the problem.
All I can add is that, in my case, accessing the forum or Haiku website via Web+ is working. So it’s doesn’t seem a connexion problem.
I have same behaviour on different installs on USB or in VM.
Ahoy,
Me, from Europe/Hungary , cannot have same issue actually …
I could connect to all repos - as you can see below - and even update one pakage - less - from Haikuports
→ I use DNS nameserver of my ISP
→ My update routine - below - consisting
pkgman refresh && pkgman update && pkgman full-sync

EDIT :
Previously I had set as first nameserver
1.1.1.1
that came from Linus* (not Torvalds ! 
) who stated :
set this up / using this … would accelerate ANY network connection (!) …
*Linus Sebastian
Add DNS Host 9.9.9.9
That fixed my issue. For some reason the eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org host name is not liked by my ISP’s DNS provider.
Hi folks, seems it was a temporary problem… maybe as stated above it was the provider’s DNS problem or something…
in any case, seems that the repository is online again.
Thanks for the help. Im also going to try 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 and test the resolution times…

Well, I wrote, used previously …
as once I shared so , and adviced to use it, but answer from Adrien (Pulkomandy) highlighted that owner of 1.1.1.1 is Cloudflare …
I don’t like them for their annoying checks and often blockade to use the sites which settled on their service … independently by OS or browser, just decide upon supported yet or not.
Anyway, if you do not feel bothered by this, and the fact that they have data what you visited, then use 1.1.1.1
9.9.9.9 is owned by IBM - I know as ex-IBMer.
9.x.x.x as A grade IP domain is owned by IBM.
Unfortunately in Haiku commandline
the whois command
not compiled / implemented yet,
and had not found in the HaikuDepot as well, so
I cannot provide a proof about them - actually, as I have Haiku only , also actually

There are many free public DNS services.
I personally also wouldn’t trust Cloudflare very much,but hey,at least it’s not Google (is their shitty surveillance DNS thingy still that popular nowadays?)
I’ve often recommended Dismail in the past and still do so,it’s a small personal project,not a megacorporation,their servers are in Germany and they don’t store logs.
As a nice bonus,they block ads and trackers,which is more important on Haiku than anywhere else,considering that we still don’t have a Adblocker addon for Webpositive.

Thank you Niklas @nipos ,
→ page bookmarked,
→ nameservers was set to test ! (block dirty, seems promising !)
I tried all of the DNS servers and still no luck with
https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/x86_64/current
which gives me an empy error page with the message
"Invalid repository"
when browsing with WebPositive.
I can browse the repo’s parent path and see all revisions, but no “current” link or similar.
So I can connect but the repo is broken.
Can connect to all other repos, but for some reason not to Github.
Currently using thte german DNS server mentioned by @nipos .
Running on Haiku Dev/hrev58805.
Was working fine up to that revision with no internet/DNS changes.
If you can connect it’s not an issue with your DNS server, I’m confused why you think this would be a dns problem?
Because of the previous answers in this thread that indicated the haiku repository had issues with some DNS, esp:
