How do I modify freebsd-update to other mirrors? He seems to be only top-level directories.

I'm looking at

/etc/freebsd-update.conf

But he seems to be able to specify only a domain name and not a URL.

Because I am in China, due to GFW, my download speed is only about 10KB, I need to use A VPN from the server agent in Hong Kong to mainland China to update.

China does n'no official source of freebsd. All I can search for is the mirror provided by aliyun.

You don't. The update.freebsd.org DNS uses GeoIP data to direct you to the "closest" available mirror automatically.

All I can search for is the mirror provided by aliyun.

That mirror only contains downloads, like images. It does not contain the freebsd-update(8) data.

Yes, I want to switch servers manually, but can he only manually specify domain names?
for example, http://update1.freebsd.org switch to http://balabala/freebsdupdate/

The update servers have a specific directory structure. This must be the same on all of them or else you wouldn't be able to be directed to a different server.

Is there a (HTTP) proxy you could use instead of a VPN? The freebsd-update(8) data is very proxy friendly.
