Does the wireshark installer actually DL from from NA?
Stupid question so I apologize in advance. So, I noticed that when I block certain countries traffic to my firewall, wireshark will not download. I live in the US and I block ~15 countries, inbound and outbound. Don't judge me. Anyway, I noticed that I have to disable this blocking to download from https://2.na.dl.wireshark.org, which is a NA server (5.78.100.21).
The countries I am blocking are; UAE, Afghanistan, Andorra, Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Botswana, Congo, Estonia, Western Sahara, Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, China and Hong Kong. So why would the windows wireshark DL be blocked?
I'm a noob, which I'm sure is evident, just trying to understand. Cheers.

DNS is resolving it to a German domain but it geolocates to Portland, Oregon.
