Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is very difficult to access various open source software in China, because the export bandwidth limits the download speed, for example, kali is completely inaccessible.
Describe the solution you'd like
You can redirect to a mirror with a repository root address similar to https://opentuna.cn, e.g.
download.opensuse.org → https://opentuna.cn/opensuse/

Describe alternatives you've considered
Allow address substitution when a distribution is selected

Additional context
Although not very realistic, I would prefer each corresponding ipxe to be targeted to add mirror station selection, which is very important for some remote or firewalled areas.

Also I don't know why it didn't work after I typed the tag myself, and the default tag is gone.
