Try running
dig deb.debian.org
thendig @9.9.9.9 deb.debian.org
. If the first one fails, it might be your DNS. The second one uses an alternative DNS server.Here are two articles on how to set a DNS server on mint:
Try setting your DNS server to that of quad9: 9.9.9.9 (literally four nines). They are a privacy-respecting DNS server.
Ok. Thank you very much! Finally making progress.
I can access deb.debian.org in my browser now, but updating still isn’t working. I get a different error message. A 404 this time.
The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-security Release' does not have a release file.
Earlier I attempted to change my mirrors file to try to fix the issue, so perhaps I didn’t change it back properly.
Edit: Yup. Just successfully ran apt update, and currently running upgrade, so everything should be fine now.
Ayyyy, congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
You should be able to change your DNS server in your router too so that any new devices don't run into similar issues. Plus it helps with your privacy.
Anyway, glad it all worked out.

It’s not my router, so I won’t do that, but I might start manually using quad9 for my Mint systems too. I already knew about quad9, but not how to change dns on Debian. Thanks again.
