    I'm unable to access all the packages from the package manager due to something with my corporate firewall.

    Is there a way to download the packages manually and install them manually?

    This is very frustrating not being able to access key unity features which are now located in packages. I used to be able to get everything from the asset store which does work with my corporate firewall but now the updates are in the package manager instead of through the asset store.

    Yeah I tried to get help on it once already.

    I think the problem is that the proxy requires a login and/or there's an issue with the certificates. I tried to get through it with my IT support but that wasn't helping. I'm able to use https://elifulkerson.com/projects/tcping.php to hit all the domains listed but I'm still not seeing all the packages in the package manager. It might have something to do with the self signed certificates that are listed here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-network.html, which I don't quite understand.

    So I downloaded a package from the website and when I added it to unity I get the following error now. I haven't seen the error before installing a package manually.
    https://download.packages.unity.com

    Failed to fetch version information:
    Cannot connect to '75.126.118.184:443' (error code: ECONNREFUSED). Verify your environment firewall policies all connection to this host name. If you system is behind a proxy, verify your proxy environment variables (HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY) are properly set.

    Hi xCyrbog, the packages are still there, but you first need to specify the name of the package in the url path to access its metadata, from which you can extract the download link by searching for the "tarball" property for the version you're looking for.

    For example :

    The metadata link for com.unity.2d.animation : https://download.packages.unity.com/com.unity.2d.animation

    From which I can extract ->
    The download link for com.unity.2d.animation@3.2.6 https://download.packages.unity.com/com.unity.2d.animation/-/com.unity.2d.animation-3.2.6.tgz

    Thanks. but it used to be much simpler before with all packages showing up in web page.
    I hope at least Unity Package Manager adds package size info and download progress.

    i can't to enter to server i have error because i am from syria
    I try all the things Unity recommended about proxy and firewall
    Therefore, there is only one method, which is to enter a package manager page and download it manually, but I do not know the method correctly because I do not know the path for each tool in the package manager

    The fact that you can't just download a package without the package manager is very suspicious. Why even HIDE these packages?

    Yes, it's beyond suspicious. It's a blatant violation of our rights. I plan to file a lawsuit and invite everyone suffering from this to join in and make it a class action. This isn't a joke in the slightest.

    Unity, if you're reading this: get your act together. I'm coming for you, and my client is one you don't want to piss off, I promise you. I hate resorting to threats, but you haven't responded to professional discourse, so I'm left with the most vulgar of tactics specifically because of your ineptitude.
