Hi Eoin,

The topic about OpenSSL3 is unrelated.

I used tna-install-experimental today today and it is basically doing a 
tna-install-latest + fetching latest great freeRtr from GitUb repository « 
main » branch 
And it has succeeded. (Against the very same server)

This upgrade occur via the ethernet1 in VRF oob (at least as it is configured)

IMHO you have filtering preventing the SSL establishment.

Can you make sure that you are no filtering in place between the P4 switch 
and the following hosts: (talking under Alex’s control )

https://bitbucket.software.geant.org
https://cache.nixos.org 
http://p4.cache.nix.net.switch.ch 

If you plan to use GitHub you also need to add:
https://github.com

If you have firewall you can use these FQDN. If you have access list I’m not 
sure how to resolve dynamic IPs

In case you really want to keep an air gapped upgrade as we usually do in 
TELCOs you can build a standalone image and use scp to put in on Linux.
Alex is preparing a documentation IIRC.

PS: Connectivity should be enabled between Linux host where freeRtr runs. You 
can also upgrade with "release-manager" command
     
I hope this help
Frederic
