Please check the log below. It is not able to establish connection to the ip 172.217.6.16:80 but i am able to download chromdriver manually from the http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.21/chromedriver_mac32.zip

Hi @jlipps , I still have Problem using your command.
It tries http:// instead of https://, but I still get ETIMEOUT error.

googleapis http address didn’t work. But, I could download the file via browser @ https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.28/chromedriver_linux64.zip

I fixed it by taking my machine out of VPN network and got it installed.
