Hi
as a lot of google sites are blocked in my environment, I am surprised that Fairphone Open OS update link leads to
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-updates/5ef4943c-5382-4aeb-9e2e-82ab73652d0e/fp2-A10-gms-22.08.0-rel.0-manual-switcher.zip
Is there another google-free site where i can download this File ?
I’m not aware of any download mirrors.
As you gave the link to the “gms” “manual-switcher” file … this file is not meant for updating Fairphone Open OS, it’s for switching from Fairphone Open OS to Fairphone OS, as described on the download page. Just saying.

No , I had installed e-1.3-r-20220824212931-dev-FP2, but it is buggy and bouncing between the wlans 2.4 and 5 GHz in a few seconds rythm. Unusable.
So I have to make a fresh install of fp OpenOS A10 22.08
meanwhile I tested lineageOS 220909 , with the same result :
bouncing between the 2 wlan ranges 2.4 and 5 GHz. Unusable
You can do this using the file given under “Manual installation”.
You mean this:

thanks for the link.
Installation was successful, but a way around googleapis was not shown.

If you need to justify it to yourself … even if you run an Android OS without pre-installed Google Apps and services, Google still wrote most of the code actively running on your phone, which is way more intrusive than just getting some file hosted at their cloud storage 
.
This is why I have huge blocklists networkwise.

Probably the spy functions are hidden in some closed source code?
