I can’t access [pkg.julialang.org](http://pkg.julialang.org). It redirect me to [https://cn-northeast.pkg.juliacn.com/](https://cn-northeast.pkg.juliacn.com/), which is broken several months ago.

I mean, Since [cn-northeast.pkg.juliacn.com](http://cn-northeast.pkg.juliacn.com) is broken, it shouldn’t be redirected. We should make things work by default.

The same problem. Solved by forcing it to use the Korean server. But I totally agree that it should be officially fixed.

Does anyone know why it is broken?
