"Ok I managed to change to the U of Waterloo Repository and installed tidyverse from there but it's weird because I had to manually attach dplyr and stringr packages along with install couple of dependencies but overall I managed to get my code running again. Thank you.
I'm gonna continue to get IT to fix the issue so I can rely on the main global repo again."
I am facing the same issue in my company and I do not understand the workaround this person here mentioned. Anybody can explain me how to fix this issue?
Please post the command you run and all of its output. Don't post an image. Copy the output from the console and paste it into a reply placing three back ticks before and after it, like this:

The user in the post you referenced used a different repository. To change repositories, go to the menu Tools -> Global Options. Click the Packages icon on the left. On the Management tab, click the Change button next to the box titled Primary CRAN Repository. The list contains some options in Germany, which might be good choices if those are close to you.
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, it still does not work after changing it to different locations. However, I can reach the cran link you posted.

Are you in a corporate environment that might be limiting your web access with a firewall? I do not understand how such things work but jcblum mentions it in this thread
Do you have IT support that you could ask about that?
