I'm trying to stream like I always do and now I get this error message: "Could not connect to server. The connection timed out. Try a different server, or check that the connection is not being blocked or other security software (10060)."

What do I do?!

Have you tried a different server? Have you checked that the connection isn't being blocked by a firewall or other security software?

Then it seems rather unlikely that the problem is with OBS. Your log file showed you trying the same server twice, does the YouTube backup/secondary not work either? Would be worth trying at least.

Just not sure why it would work on Twitch but not YouTube? I also tried YouTube through my Elgato software and that worked fine. It was only with OBS that's not streaming to YouTube.

You might have broken IPv6 connectivity. Try binding OBS to an IPv4 address in Advanced.

I tried all 4 options I had under "Bind to Interface" and got the same error. How would I know if it's an IPv4? Not sure what that is?

IPv4 is 4 number separated by a . it will be like 192.168.0.4. the mixed letter and numbers are IPv6 which should not be used.

When I switch it to an IPv4 I get a whole new error: "Could not connect to server. RTMP_Connect0, failed to bind socket: The system detected an invalid pointer address in attemping to use a pointer argument in a call. (10014)" https://gist.github.com/d5688889e5d32835212b

I would attempt to reset your router. If you know how. I would even go as far as disabled IPv6 in your routers DHCP. but check with your ISP first. Make sure to specify on your LAN (local area network) not on the WAN (wide area network) connection.

When I reset my router I have the option to choose the IPv4: 192.168.0.4 in advanced settings and it works! But then when I change the stream key for another stream it automatically sets itself to "default" under "Bind to Interface" and I get the 10014 error again. So it seems if I restart my router I can stream once but I have to rest my router again if I wanted setup a whole new stream.

Yeah, its like your router is choosing the IPv6 as the default path to the internet. I advised above how to remediate this.

Just got off the phone with my internet provider. They confirmed that the only type of connection I have is an IPv4 and all my connections are working properly. They also reset my router and the issue remained.

So I am back at square one and something within OBS is blocking the stream to YouTube but not Twitch. Could it be a setting within YouTube?

try this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852

the first two should do the trick. these are MS downloadable fixes, instead of having you go through your registry which can cause issues of done incorrectly.

the revert for these files is also there.
