Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I just want you guys to fix the CDN issue. I literally cannot use winget it will return error "Failed in attempt to update the source: winget". But when I VPNed it works normally. I don't want to open VPN every time I want to use winget. So please fix your server it's been a year now and I know a lot of people out there facing the same issue.
