I am using Linux Mint 19 and it work for me.

  1. Disable your firewall (sudo ufw disable)
  2. Disable your ipv6

For Red-Hat system :

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

For Debian system :

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Add the following at the bottom of the file :

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

After all, restart your machine.
