Hi,

I am currently trying out elastic-agent and fleet. I enabled internet access on the server so that kibana could download packages from EPR for fleet. However upon stopping internet access, I get the "unable to connect to [epr.elastic.co](http://epr.elastic.co)" error in kibana when I try to open fleet.

Is constant internet access a limitation for fleet as of now?

Thanks

Yes this is one of the limitations of Fleet right now. There is an open issue to add support for off-line mode for EPR [[Ingest Manager] Run Ingest Manager with on prem package-registry · Issue #77333 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/77333) [[Ingest Manager] Add EPR to Fleet setup checks · Issue #78770 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/78770). Let us know if you have any particular requirements for this feature
