OBS gives a "Failed to connect" error

This could be due to the following reasons:

I've stopped streaming but Instagram still shows me as live

Make sure you actually running the stop command when you're streaming and not close it.

I don't see or get an error in Instagram when archiving my story

This could be due to the following reasons:

• You didn't stream anything from OBS/your encoder. In this case, you should delete the archive.
• You streamed a disallowed aspect ratio or resolution. Make sure you're using 1080x1794. In this case, you should delete the archive.
• Your stream is still processing. This is normal for longer streams.

I get "CURL Error 60: SSL certificate problem" when trying to log into Instagram

This is due to CURL not having a valid CA. You can find a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34883260.

I get "CURL Error 28: Operation timed out after x milliseconds with 0 bytes received."

In this case, your IP is blocked by Instagram. There is nothing I can do in this situation, if you're using a VPN/Proxy (which are not supported), don't.
