Trouble installing packages... possibly related to CRAN repository access issues

Hello! First time poster, apologies if this is a duplicate... I have read through many similar problems and tried the solutions and they have not worked for me, so I am starting a new post.

I am having trouble installing packages, using R 3.5.2 and R studio 1.1.463.

When I try to download a package I get the error message below. :confused: This happens for more packages than the tidyverse, I'm just posting one example. I have already tried using a CRAN mirror and unchecking the "use secure download method for HTTP" in tools --> globaloptions --> packages. It seems to be an issue where R can't connect to the repository? I don't know what prompted this as I could download packages just fine until 24 hours ago.

Can anyone help me?
