I think it must’ve changed recently. The good news is that you CAN fetch the elixir docs like that! After I switched to my cellular connection it worked like a charm.

So slick, I’m glad we’ve got such a robust offering of tools in the elixir ecosystem! Even simple things like this make me excited for what’s to come.

My guess would be some kind of DNS spoofing associated with certain keywords, airports and hotels usually do this kind of shit to their connections.

I understand your situation, but in that case shouldn’t you plan to have a good data plan on your SIM card?
I have one on mine that also works well when in roaming.

This becomes also a security risk for your employer, but many employers are not yet aware of the risk associated with employees working on public wifi, or they downplay the risk, but in some industries its not an acceptable risk.

Attackers when wanting they always achieve, but the public wifi risk are by far bigger then the ones you face at home.
Not only old routers, even modern routers are crap in terms of security for a persistent attacker.

When on public wifi (or at home if the attacker is outside your home) you also face the danger of the wifi being spoofed by a device like this:

P.S: Maybe a moderator want to split this into another topic with a tile like Risks of working on a public wifi

Elixir is not a package, so you can’t fetch the docs like that. We may address this in the near future though.

Meanwhile you can download Elixir docs from its release page on GitHub.
