An acquaintance of mine is running LND in neutrino mode with the default fee url (https://nodes.lightning.computer/fees/v1/btc-fee-estimates.json), however the logs he showed me are saying that this URL is not accessible, It works on my side though but I'm living in a different part of the world.
LND has a failsafe for this right? There should be an alternative URL somewhere or some way for me to create an endpoint which caches this response.
BTW - It is possible to make a simple PHP script that just queries the default nodes.lightning.computer endpoint and then host it somewhere else, but this is hardly ideal (it's not redundant etc.)

Alternatively you could try Strike's fee estimator: https://bitcoinchainfees.strike.me/v1/fee-estimates
LND does not allow multiple fee urls as of this point so the best alternative would still be to run your own Bitcoin node.
