[Python] Selenium doesn't open website with provided url (url is valid)

I try to open whois EURID website with no luck. Selenium opens browser (tried with Chrome and FF), but when I try to open particular URL (http://whois.eurid.eu/):

nothing opens, I got blank page only.

I have driver set by this function:

def set_driver() -> WebDriver:
service = Service()
if cfg["browser"]["browser_name"].strip().lower() == "firefox":
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options=options)
elif cfg["browser"]["browser_name"].strip().lower() == "edge":
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Edge(service=service, options=options)
else:
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
return driver



Using driver (set above) I try to open webiste and scrape some data (information about domain):

domain_name = "ddddddd.eu" # any name ending with '.eu'

URL = f"https://whois.eurid.eu/en/search/?domain={domain_name}"

drv = set_driver()
drv.get(URL)
time.sleep(5)



I think this website is currently somehow protected (???), as I have had no problems with opening it before.

Thanks for advice!
