Unable to download selenium server about wdman HOT 6 CLOSED

I have something similar:

library(RSelenium)
library(wdman)
pjsDrv <- phantomjs(verbose = FALSE, check = FALSE)
rD <- rsDriver(browser = "phantomjs")

checking Selenium Server versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking chromedriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking geckodriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 403.

from wdman.

It is most likely something local to your network. Running the rsDriver function from my location does not result in a 403.

I‘m from China. There is a Great Firewall to block some website, such as Twitter, Facebook. But after using VPN or shadowsocks, I unblock Twitter and other blocked website. But I still can't download the driver. Is there any method to make rsDriver function download normally? Any help is appreciated!

I have the same issue today while it worked for long time; The same comunicat as @bloynoys
the code is: rS <- rsDriver(browser = "phantomjs", port = 4563L, version = "3.7.1")

I need to do my work! What to do?
