403 forbidden when downloading mongoDB driver for golang

Viewed 370

I'm trying to download mongoDB golang driver to a project in VS code running this command in the VS code terminal:

go get go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo

but I'm getting 403 forbidden error like this:

go: downloading github.com/klauspost/compress v1.13.6
go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo imports
       github.com/klauspost/compress/zstd: github.com/klauspost/compress@v1.13.6: reading https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/klauspost/compress/@v/v1.13.6.zip: 403 Forbidden

I've figured maybe my ip address is restriced so I've tried downloading it using several VPNs like psiphon and hotspot shield but I'm still getting the same error.

You can temporarily skip using GOPROXY by:

GORPOXY='direct' go get YOUR_URL

This way, it skips the goproxy checking and directly downloads your repo from provided destination.
