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.
