repo.securityonion.net is down?

The title references repocache.securityonion.net but the rest references repo.securityonion.net. Which are you asking about?

repocache.securityonion.net doesn't actually exist on the Internet. It's a special URL used by nodes in a distributed deployment to pull from the repo on the manager.

repo.securityonion.net isn't accessible via HTTP so http://repo.securityonion.net is always going to show the Cloudflare error Web server is down. A better test would be to request an actual file from repo.securityonion.net via HTTPS. For example:

curl -v https://repo.securityonion.net/file/securityonion-repo/securityonion/repodata/repomd.xml
