Hey everyone!
Wow, didn’t expect so many fixes—thanks a ton! The VPN trick (ProtonVPN) worked like magic. Still weird tho, ’cause I wasn’t even trying to access anything sketchy.
Quick Q: If it’s a IP ban, how long do those usually last? Or do I gotta contact the site?
Also, gonna try the DNS thing next if it happens again. Y’all are lifesavers!

Response 403 errors are often server-side, but here’s a wild tip:
Try accessing the site with http:// instead of https://. Sometimes the SSL cert is messed up, and the server rejects secure connections.
If it works, the site’s admin needs to fix their cert.
