question: Why does wget fail to download the CloudFront parquet file even with --no-check-certificate,
4+
and how can I work around network blocks?

The download may fail not because of SSL verification but because the network blocks requests to the CloudFront domain. In some networks, requests to the dataset URL are redirected to a block page such as https://blocked.sbmd.cicc.gov.ph/.

Solution 1 — Skip certificate check (SSL verification disabled)
11+
12+
```
13+
!wget --no-check-certificate https://d37ci6vzurychx.cloudfront.net/trip-data/yellow_tripdata_2025-11.parquet
14+
```
15+
16+
Solution 2 — If your network blocks CloudFront entirely, connect to a VPN and run the original command again:
17+
18+
```
19+
!wget https://d37ci6vzurychx.cloudfront.net/trip-data/yellow_tripdata_2025-11.parquet
20+
```
21+
22+
Using a VPN successfully bypassed the network block.
