Curl can't connect to server for install (fresh Rasp OS install)

The issue I am facing:
grafik

user@pihole:~ $ sudo curl -v -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

  • Trying 164.90.255.4:443...
  • Immediate connect fail for 164.90.255.4: Network is unreachable
  • Closing connection 0
    curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

Alternate approach doesn't work either:
user@pihole:~ $ wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
--2023-02-04 13:22:42-- https://install.pi-hole.net/
Resolving install.pi-hole.net (install.pi-hole.net)... 164.90.255.4
Connecting to install.pi-hole.net (install.pi-hole.net)|164.90.255.4|:443... failed: Network is unreachable.

Details about my system:
Raspberry Pi 3B, latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-Bit

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I can't install it

You have a network connectivity problem on your device.

Yes, check LAN or Wifi connections.

Well, I actually access the pi via SSH, so it's not like the LAN doesn't work. Also, Curl works when you just test it with example.com:

user@pihole:~ $ sudo curl -v -sSL https://example.com

While when I try to reach install.pi-hole.net:

user@pihole:~ $ sudo curl -v -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net

  • Trying 164.90.255.4:443...
  • Immediate connect fail for 164.90.255.4: Network is unreachable
  • Closing connection 0
    curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

Oh, I accidentally got one step further:

When I manually browsed h ttps://install.pi-hole.net, I realized you are being forwarded to the script on Github, specifically the URL h ttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh

So I substituted the URL in the Curl / Bash command so it is:

sudo curl -v -sSL h ttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh | bash

And that did the trick and loaded the installer. Does the latest Pi OS have some sort of URL forwarding protection (since install.pi-hole.net forwards to github)?

[NOTE: I made h ttps out of https because the forum software thought I was posting links]

But it didn't go far - I then got an error that the Network is unreachable:

Okay, so obviously the Pi can't reach Github, which is weird!

It doesn't look like a Pi-hole problem – if you fix the network connectivity problem on your machine then you will be able to proceed.

What is your ISP maybe they block access to github?

Interestingly, I can access github via my desktop PC so it has to be a Pi thing. Will continue to troubleshoot there.

What is your Pi's upstream DNS server? What's in your /etc/hosts file?
