"[Access Denied]; 403, Forbidden", What is this message for?

This message is displayed when Cloudflare's security layer detects your computer's IP address as a bot. You need to change your computer's IP address.

Quick solutions:

• If you use a VPN or proxy to connect to the Internet, turn it off. Restart Metatrader and check ForecastFollow again.
• Restart your internet modem or router. Restart Metatrader and check ForecastFollow again.
• If neither of these methods solves your problem, use another VPN.

Complete explanation:

There is no problem with your Forecast-Follow software, but the problem is with your Internet IP address!

As you can see in the picture below, Cloud Flare's servers (https://www.cloudflare.com/) sent the Forbidden security message to your device's IP.

Cloud Flare servers also use this Just text to check that you are not a robot!

So, by changing your computer's Internet IP, everything will be fine.

There are a few ways to change your IP address. The easiest and most common way is to restart your internet modem or router. This typically gives you a new IP address from your internet service provider (ISP). However, your ISP may reuse IP addresses after a certain period of time, so this is not a permanent solution.

Another way to change your IP address is to use a virtual private network (VPN). When you connect to a VPN, your traffic is routed through a server in another location, which gives you a new IP address.

If you need a more permanent solution, you can ask your ISP for a static IP address. This is a service that some ISPs offer for a fee.
