This is a report about how2, a tool for searching StackOverflow from the command line that seemed useful for programming, wasn’t working.

santinic/how2: stackoverflow from the terminal

I tried using the tool called how2, but this is just a report that it didn’t work for some reason.

how2 -l python reverse list
/Sorry, I cannot find any reasonable answer for your query.

I checked the issues and found nothing that seemed relevant, so I’m stuck.

I wasn’t using a proxy, but I was using a VPN. However, only on one side; the other side didn’t have VPN or anything. So VPN isn’t related.

I guess it just doesn’t work.
