Solved upgrading from 14.1-RELEASE-p5 (No mirrors remaining)

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade my samba/AD server, but it always fail complaining about mirrors not found, the mirrors are reachable and the resolution is conclusive , can you please assist? Thanks

Bash:
root@dc1:~ # freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.2-RELEASE
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.1-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.1-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.1-RELEASE from dualstack.aws.update.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

This may be because upgrading from this platform (amd64)
or release (14.1-RELEASE) is unsupported by freebsd-update. Only
platforms with Tier 1 support can be upgraded by freebsd-update.
See https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ for more info.

If unsupported, FreeBSD must be upgraded by source.

What does fetch http://update1.freebsd.org/14.1-RELEASE/amd64/latest.ssl do?

root@dc1:~ # fetch http://update1.freebsd.org/14.1-RELEASE/amd64/latest.ssl
fetch: http://update1.freebsd.org/14.1-RELEASE/amd64/latest.ssl: Operation timed out



Thanks for your reply, it times out.
 
Thanks for your help, I got to the bottom of the issue, for a weird reason a route was there routing all of the traffic from the server IP to the second firewall (with a separate WAN), I didn't create the rule, so once I deleted it everything worked fine and I was able to reach the URL, thanks for putting in me the right path, now I need to investigate why this route shows up on its own :

Code:
root@dc1:~ # fetch http://update1.freebsd.org/14.1-RELEASE/amd64/latest.ssl
latest.ssl
