Can you post the entire output you get when you run youtube-dl --source-address 195.46.137.11 -Cv R-qlQe8R2Cs? The first line should be something along the lines of [debug] System config: []. That output tells us what lead to the error message.

Also of interest is which IP addresses you have assigned on your local machine. Please post the output of ipconfig if you are using Windows and ip a otherwise.

As reported by ipconfig, your machine's IP address is not 195.46.137.11, but 192.168.12.68. The operating system prevents you from binding to an IP address that you have not configured. Before binding, you must configure this machine to have the IP address 195.46.137.11. If you want to send and receive, you must also configure routing and firewalls in your network.

i tried to setup a web service that send clients extracted urls. may be it is impossible, network doesnt allow bind another ip
