Thank you, mine was due the internet connection. I unplugged the modem/router then waited about 1 min then plugged back in reconnect and boom, it worked. Thank you again 👏👏👏

Just had this 403 error code trying to access an American motorcycle dealership from the UK. I had tried dozens of so called fixes but nothing worked. I contact my ISP, BT Internet and they were in all honesty clueless claiming not to be aware of the error code which they said they had not seen before. Tried several fixes with them that did not work. What did work was off my own back, switching off the modem or hub for a while and turning it back on. That fixed the error code and gave me site access.
Have not seen one expert offering this simple fix as an option.

Mine still isn't working 😭😭😭 I've refreshed, pressed F5, turned computer on & off, reset the modem, checked the URL, using a different browser - and still not working :( Page is work-related and used numerous times, most days.

I was getting the Error 403 forbidden and the only thing I did was go to my settings on my phone and turn the VPN on. That fixed my problem immediately! The VPN has to be on with whatever virus protection you have on your phone. I have Kerpensky.

I have a VPN and I got this message when trying to comment on YouTube channels. I just changed my VPN location and now it works.
