Please check if DDG is blocked in your country/org...

[keypey]

From Poland, UPC. Ddg works fine in browsers. Only cli / ddgr doesn't work.

ddgr hello [ERROR] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden No results. ddgr (? for help)

I checked with vpn (PIA: usa-west / germany). It doesn't work either.

[jarun]

How about: https://html.duckduckgo.com/html ?

[keypey]

It works.

Which country does it work for you?

[jarun]

Working in India.

[jarun]

I would suggest check the class DdgConnection.

Also try to open the html page with elinks and confirm. Can try changing the user agent to elinks one as well.

[jarun]

Also, I am on master.

[keypey]

It's not a country blockade. I connected to PIA-vpn / india.

ddgr hello [ERROR] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden No results. ddgr (? for help)

elinks - works fine.

[keypey]

I have a workaround. I changed the user-agent in ddgr to:

USER_AGENT = 'Mozilla / 5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv: 104.0) Gecko / 20100101 Firefox / 104.0'

Now it is working.

(only sometimes i get:) [ERROR] <urlopen error [Errno 113] No route to host> No results.
