Facebook SDK 5+ authentication token error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time

Question

I have an issue I have been trying to fix since this morning (now over 8h). I got the facebook cookie contents, found the auth token which works fine on its own in the browser

https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=201856003211297|2.AQAHJg3GugHIHhec.3600.1314442800.1-100002411647354|RAylZSUax4pdKcIt--QruS-Qcgc

But

Whenever I try to get the user information, the web-page crashes down very nicely with the error below.

I have tried to read from the page using web request:

    'Dim inputFile As String = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=" & access_token
    'Dim sDiskFile As String = "auth.txt"

    'Dim _wrequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(inputFile)
    'Dim _wresponse As WebResponse

    '_wresponse = _wrequest.GetResponse()

    'Dim _stream As Stream = _wresponse.GetResponseStream()

    'Dim oReader As New StreamReader(_stream, Encoding.ASCII)

And it crashed with the same error. I decided to give the Facebook SDK 5 a go and the same error is happening:

    Dim access_token As String = GetFacebookTokenFromCookie()
    If access_token = "" Then
        litUser.Text = "<fb:login-button perms='email'>Login with Facebook</fb:login-button>"
    Else

        Dim app As New DefaultFBApp
        Dim _ctx As New FacebookWebContext(app)

        Dim fb As New Facebook.FacebookClient(app)
        fb.AccessToken = access_token

        Dim parameters As New Dictionary(Of String, Object)()
        parameters("fields") = "id,name"

        Dim result As Object = fb.Get(parameters)

        Dim id = result.id
        Dim name = result.name
        Dim firstName As String = result.first_name
        Dim lastName = result.last_name
        Dim link = result.link
        Dim username = result.username
        Dim gender = result.gender
        Dim male = result.locale
        litUser.Text = "Welcome " & firstName
    End If

DefaultFBApp is:

    Public Class DefaultFBApp
        Implements Facebook.IFacebookApplication

With all the must-implement fields added in and the api key and secret filled in.

Same error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
