Description

This is running on my Google Compute Engine (GCE) server. The returned URL from the verbose command leads to this page:

My server, myself, my friend, and both our discord clients are receiving the Access Denied error (we're in completely different parts of the world).

I didn't download anything too many times, it didn't work from the first time.

My firewall rules allow all traffic of all types:

Your server does not receive access denied as clearly seen from the log but network is unreachable error indicating connectivity issue between your server and download host.

@dstftw The thing is that all ports are open on all protocols, and I've verified this. I can ping google.com and youtube.com, I can use both curl and wget to download the youtube-dl bin, I can access my server webpage through my browser so it's definitely able to process everything. I've made sure both http and https are supported by the server.

I even uninstalled curl and youtube-dl then redownloaded youtube-dl with wget.

wget'ting the link yields the following log (nothing different)

Not sure what possible connectivity issues can exist that I'm missing, What else can I verify?

@dstftw Same issue here, http host reached, webpage download succeeds but downloader gives 101

As already pointed out: network issue on your side, nothing to do with youtube-dl.
