Hi,

this is by design, the service hosts public content for synchronization by mirrors. The same content is also available over HTTP(s) at https://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/.

Any particular issue with this?

Thank you, for your prompt reply.
Noted, since this service is legit and used for hosting public content, no
further action needed.
