Kali Linux Update Error

Closed last year.After a dist-upgrade I can not update Kali and sudo apt-get update returns this error: Err:1 kali-rolling InReleaseConnection failed IP: 192.99.200.113 80Reading package lists. DoneW: Failed to fetch Connection failed IP: 192.99.200.113 80W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.I searched for update errors in Kali but couldn't find this error.This is my sources.list file: ##deb cdrom:Debian GNU/Linux 2017.3 Kali-rolling - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20171109-13:49/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free#deb cdrom:Debian GNU/Linux 2017.3 Kali-rolling - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20171109-13:49/ kali-rolling contrib main non-freedeb kali-rolling main non-free contrib# deb-src kali-rolling main non-free contribHow can I fix this? Can you see the repository (http.kali.org/kali) in a browser?Does it show 'Index of /kali' in your browser?If you can't see the Index then it might be the cause of firewall/proxy blocks your connection. Please check with your network admin in that case.Also try to open this URL from a browser.

Your /etc/apt/sources.list should look exactly like this: deb kali-rolling main contrib non-free# For source package access, uncomment the following line# deb-src kali-rolling main contrib non-freeMake sure there is no other repositories or lines because according to the documentation:The single most common causes of a broken Kali Linux installation are following unofficial advice, and particularly arbitrarily populating the system’s sources.list file with unofficial repositories. The following post aims to clarify what repositories should exist in sources.list, and when they should be used.Any additional repositories added to the Kali sources.list file will most likely BREAK YOUR KALI LINUX INSTALL.You can uncomment the last line at your discretion as well. Make sure to run apt update and you should be good.
