I know this is late, but in case someone faces the same issue, I managed to stitch a simple solution in my case (on Windows).

When updating packages, MiKTeX’s package manager (mpm) automatically selects the closest mirror. Sometimes the closest mirror (e.g. one at https://ctan.yazd.ac.ir/) may be hosted in a region (like Iran) where domains are blocked by your region, causing connection timeouts (error code 28).

1. Manually Set an Accessible Repository

   • Find a Mirror:
     Visit [MiKTeX Repositories](https://miktex.org/pkg/repositories) and choose a URL from a country with no geo-blocking issues.
   • Configure via Command Line:
     Open a command prompt and run the following (run elevated/as admin if needed):

     mpm --set-repository="https://<chosen-repository>/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"
     

     If running in administrator mode (using MiKTeX Console Admin), add the --admin flag and use:

     mpm --admin --set-repository="https://<chosen-repository>/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"
     

     Example :

     mpm --admin --set-repository="https://mirrors.nxthost.com/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"
     

2. Use a VPN
   Otherwise, instead of all of that, you can use a VPN to temporarily bypass the geo-blocking to reach a different default mirror.
