I've now tested to fetch that file using curl, that worked.

Please test that too to see if a connection error occurs.

I get different results here, so in use another mirror (this is
intended to spread the load).
In my opinion, this inconsistency between the mirrors is an issue
itself.

Although, 14.0 is EoL. Please check which version you are running.

then there is maybe an issue with the mirror you are using and that
mirror is out of sync:
fetch -v https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf
resolving server address: pkg.freebsd.org:443
SSL options: 82004850
Peer verification enabled

meta.conf                                              179  B 3798 kBps 
  00s

Maybe set as an intermediate solution an entry into /etc/hosts?

For me it is using the following IP:
host pkg.FreeBSD.org
pkg.freebsd.org is an alias for pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org.
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org has address 85.30.190.140
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org mail is handled by 0 .

OK, here we get a different result from the GeoDNS answer.

# host pkg.FreeBSD.org
pkg.FreeBSD.org is an alias for pkgmir.geo.FreeBSD.org.

if you are on FreeBSD version 15, you must replace `FreeBSD` with
`FreeBSD-ports` and do not modify any file for pkg in /etc, do your
modification in /usr/local/etc.
So copy the original files you want to modify into /usr/local/etc (with
corresponding directory structure) and modify it there.

If https is not working, you really should be very careful with what you
download.
pkg is doing a verification using the fingerprints, but this is an
indication that something is really broken on your site or on the
network to the servers.
Not that you have there some man-in-the-middle problem that modifies the
traffic.

This will not work. If you want to force a specific server to be used
for pkg.freebsd.org, you will have to add entries to /etc/host.conf.

These are not the correct repository names for FreeBSD-15, meaning your
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf has been tampered with.

If https doesn't work but http does, the reason is almost certainly that
your clock is wrong. Run `ntpdate freebsd.pool.ntp.org` and try again
with the correct configuration. And please enable the ntpd service so
your clock stays synchronized going forward.

Note that if your clock is off by a _lot_, DNS may also stop working.
