issue with apt-get upgrade Forbidden IP

When ever i use apt-get upgrade it doesn’t work. In the output log i see multiple errors saying
it cannot connect to a certain IP and it will not let me download and update
I’m running
4.8 KDE
I used Standard Debian to install
It’s not used on dual boot

Here’s the output log:

Try this in order listed:

#1 make sure anonsurf/tor/blocked proxy is not running.

#2 you could (working as of this post) try this list (was on mirror page last week) in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list (back up the file if you like first):

deb https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling main contrib non-free
#deb-src https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling main contrib non-free
deb https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free
#deb-src https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free

#3 Avoid apt-get for rolling. After trying the list above, for safe trouble free upgrading use:

sudo parrot-upgrade

#4 if you try all those things in the order I listed, and still having issues… visit to see up to date mirror list/info:

https://docs.parrotsec.org/mirror-list/

Had the exact problem. Change the repos in source list. I am currently using one from china. Worked like a charm.

Same as Junior, I use the MIT source and it work now,
Massachussetts MIT
deb Index of /parrot/ rolling main contrib non-free

A little correction: that is mirror change. The change source list might be add repo from other distro which causes error. There are new users don’t know that.
