### Describe the bug
Hi I am consistently getting this error when I try to us…e a tokenizer, mode or pipeline from pretrained hf models:
> OSError: We couldn't connect to 'https://huggingface.co/' to load this file, couldn't find it in the cached files and it looks like google-bert/bert-base-german-cased is not the path to a directory containing a file named config.json.
Checkout your internet connection or see how to run the library in offline mode at 'https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/installation#offline-mode'.
I checked my connection and cleared out the cache. Moreover when I update hugging face_hub[cli] with pip install huggingface_hub[cli], I get the following warning:
> WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7fc032677010>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable')': /simple/huggingface-hub/
The models I try to access were google-bert/bert-base-german-cased and dbmdz/bert-base-german-uncased. I am running the code on google cloud instances on n2d-standard-4 (4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM) machine with transformers version 4.40.2. Could you please let me know what leads to this error and help me solve it?
### Reproduction
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-german-cased")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-german-cased")
