Do you have any network interface on this machine bound to MY.PERSONAL.IP.ADDRESS in the first place?
Post the output of ifconfig, ip addr show or whatever you have.

It's my VPS.. and MY.PERSONAL.IP.ADDRESS is address of my computer.

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1

source_address must be an IP address bound to one of your VPS's network interfaces.

So, is it possible to run youtube-dl on website for each users, who wants to get video information? Because when I get video address from localhost, it works only for my IP address. I want to process it on VPS url and share this video address with another people. How to solve it?
