"[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.
