General Questions • [Software] GPG keys.gnupg.net -> receive failed: Server indicated a failure

fails:

$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

https://gnupg.net/ says Please visit gnupg.org instead. Yet there is no information about keys and keys. subdomain does not work either.

different server works:

gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) <thomasv@electrum.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1

works even without specifying server:

gpg --recv-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6

gpg manual page says:

This option is deprecated - please use the --keyserver in ‘dirmngr.conf’ instead.

running locate, which, where is on dirmngr.conf does not return any results.

So I should be using gpg command without the switch and hope some internally set keyserver will work, or i am actually not connecting the internet without --keyserver parameter?
