I've been using tectonic for few years and just now encountered an unexpected error:

[…]

I couldn't find anything on the tectonic website about fullyjustified.net and that domain bare just redirects to the tectonic website… so clearly it's a project resource!

Looking around, I found that fullyjustified.net appears in the source in a few places - it's where tectonic gets its packages. OK, that makes perfect sense.

When I access those URLs in the error message directly with a browser, I can see that my corporate firewall is blocking the domain. It's been a while since I worked on the document I'm working on today and I'm aware of a more aggressive firewall policy lately, so it's unsurprising that I'd not encountered this until now.

What I'd expect is some kind of something — documentation somewhere — saying that tectonic may connect to this domain. I'm fully aware of tectonic retrieving packages on demand, but I thought they came from CTAN or something else with a more recognizably safe domain.
