We have all been there

For me the https:// links are working though 

Ok, more issues incoming...

I can't get the WebClient connecting to the website inside VisualStudio. The connection will be closed every time. It works online, but not in VS. Any idea? I tried it with this simple code in vb.NET 4.5.0:

vb:
Dim wc As WebClient = New WebClient()

Dim srchHtml As String = wc.DownloadString("https://www.videobuster.de/titlesearch.php?search_title=die+croods")

Hrm, what are you using? Visual Studio 201x? or VS Code?

Are you using a proxy of any sort that might interfere?

Other than that this might be of help:

VisualStudio 2017, no proxy, vlan or something else. Tommorow I will try the same 2 lines of code at my office. If it will work there than I'm going wild

Thanks for the links, will read it also tomorrow.
