Description

Hello,

I am in Australia and I allowed my leap 15.1/LXDE system to update today
via pk-update-icon as I normally do. I know my system is usually
directed to my closest mirrored download server but today I was a bit
shocked to see that I was downloading from
https://l37-193-156-169.novotelecom.ru/ and aborted the update process.

This mirror is not on the list at https://mirrors.opensuse.org/

When I put that Russian address into Firefox it came up with the warning
as shown in the attached PNG screenshot.

Is this Russian mirror a cause of concern?

I am going to fix my repos now to Australian mirror only as per the list
at https://mirrors.opensuse.org/.

Regards,

Chris.
