Is your connection behind a proxy server?

This might be related.

I also use julia 1.11 on windows, and yet had no related issue, so I think it’s network related.

Hi, I do use VPN. But, the solutions you attached doesn’t work for me, with or without VPN.

Looking through some previous cases of such error, it seems that it’s either a problem with the proxy or firewall.

This is the next best post I could find regarding your problem.
If this doesn’t work, I’m afraid your best bet would be using a hotspot without proxy/firewall, or manually cloning https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git to ~/.julia/registries.
