I asked him to reboot both his pc and the router
Then he went offline.

@Eddie Paul Litz it may be worth doing a traceroute and then comparing it to route of the other members, however it may contain information you and other members may not want to share.
Code:
sudo apt install traceroute
traceroute pkgs.orgI can access it without my VPN and it doesn't work when I use a VPN.
They could have been getting a bunch of abusive traffic and hit the 'no vpn/tor' switch at Cloudflare. (They're behind Cloudflare, according to the WHOIS.)
It's a simple switch that doesn't care if the traffic is legitimate or not. It just blocks it as a way to avoid a DDoS. Which might be their motivation - but that'd be pure speculation.

He said at #6 that he is not using a VPN.
I have more later, but what I showed at #12 is right on the money in my part of Australia, same as the video and same as the screenshot.
Since my last Post I launched a Linux Mint 'Ulyssa' 20.1 Cinnamon and got identical outcomes with the latest version of Firefox, Chromium and Brave.
Once you get through to pkgs.org page, the problem does not repeat (with the intervening screen).
Later, more coffee

is that coffee flavourd beer
While true, I was (in my case) confirming that it only happened when using a VPN.
CloudFlare isn't 100% accurate and may think their traffic is Tor or a VPN.
Another possible reason is they're in the same geographical area where the malicious traffic originates.
When something's behind CF, CF is usually the problem! ;-)
(I have a couple of sites using CF, for the record.)

May questions have been asked of the OP
It would be appreciated, @Eddie Paul Litz, if you would go to the trouble of answering them.
There are a lot of people doing their best to help you....some feedback would be mandatory at this point.
did you reboot...both pc and router ?
Is he routing through a country that has a block due to local copyrite laws
is there a block from his ISP
is his local sever having problems
or is there a problem with his own settings
Has there been any change to your Firefox since the last time you connected to the problem site

Also what do you mean favorite place to get deb files, it's a good site to use if you are looking for a package and can't find it in the default repositories it will then list what other third-party repositories will have it which you can then add to your sources.
