After installing Google Play Store, I can see the apps but cannot download them due to this error when I click the install button: Error retrieving information from server. [DF-DFERH-01]. Internet works since I can search apps and see comments. Do you have an idea how to fix the issue? I tried on a clean Android image of Anbox by removing /var/snap/anbox/common/ and restarting Anbox with sudo snap restart anbox. The issue does not happen on Android x86 (version 7.1 like Anbox) in VirtualBox.

Update: in the past it worked with Android x86 but it looks like I am getting the same error on Android x86 now.

It is probably another censorship from Google... I was using a VPN. When I tested on a clean install without VPN, I was able to download apps. Now it worked again with my VPN if I wanted to download the same app downloaded previously but I tried with another app and it failed again. It looks like Google just wants to collect my real IP address, what a shame. Fortunately I don't use Android on my smartphone.
