SUMMARY
***
When I run sudo pkcon refresh && sudo pkcon update I get lots of errors saying Network is unreachable but the network works fine for everything else
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole or Discover
2. In Konsole, run sudo pkcon refresh && sudo pkcon update or in Discover I press the check for updates button

OBSERVED RESULT
I get a lot of errors like these:      
Fatal error: E: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease is not (yet) available (Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.152). - connect (113: No route to host) Cannot initiate the connection to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1360:8001::23). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.142). - connect (113: No route to host) Cannot initiate the connection to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1360:8001::24). - connect (101: Network is unreachable))

Should update normally without error.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use CloudFlare Warp as a proxy / VPN for updating. I also think this might be an ISP or router issue as in other places I get the error sometimes or I don't but at home I get the errors every time.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
