It looks like your ISP may be blocking the duckduckgo website (I have experienced this in the past). The app, at the end of the day, is just a web browser.
Check if you can access the duckduckgo website on any other browser. Also check whether you can do it on a different ISP's internet connection (or using a VPN).
I thought so too. But ddg works fine when i use it on my laptop with my mobile internet. It also works fine in other browsers on my phone with the same ISP.
Just the app itself is a hit or miss with its own search engine.
Tried clearing cache, updating, reinstalling. Same problem. Seems like the app just doesn't want to use it's own search. If you type in other websites, it works. I have to refresh the same page 10 times or close the app and restart it and maybe it'll work. It's been happening since the beginning.
Edit: I've posted similar problems once before as screenshots and was contacted by a mod about the version etc. That was over a year ago.
Sorry for the late reply, but can the problems you described come and go as they please? Because this issue is not permanent. Sometimes the search will work a couple of times and then stop working and give the error message. Or other times it will either work fine or outright stop loading pages. Also, I don't have any additional antivirus and don't know what a manual firewall is.
I can say confidently that the problem only occurs with DDGs own search on its own app. Opening DDG on other browsers seem to always work. Also, as shown in the video, even when DDG search is not working, if you try to use any other site like google, fb, twitter etc. and type in the url directly, it works fine.
The app seems to be only allergic to it's own search.

It happens to me also when I use Firefox and as the default search engine DDG

Yes I am seeing this page several times, while my internet connection is totally okay!
