    Open the tor browser and try if that works. If it does you do have internet. Some applications dont like when they are used over tor.

    Either use the --proxy option of yt-dlp, or use torsocks to transparently torify any application.

        Options:

        • Just start it from the terminal with torsocks
        • Use application-specific proxy settings
        • Since torsocks simply uses LD_PRELOAD, you could try to make this apply globally by adding the torsocks library to ld.so.preload. Just put the path returned by torsocks show in /etc/ld.so.preload.
