HTTP 403 error

OPerkins

I just recently converted from Kaspersky to Bit Defender and now I cannot access 247sports website. All Windows PCs have this problem but iPhone and iPad do not. I get a http 403 error indicating some certificate issue. Is bitdefender somehow blocking this website and if so, how do I prevent it?

Well, this is strange; I am able to access the website.

The solution you can try here is to disable SSL/Encrypted Web Scan by going into the settings of your Bitdefender product and see if that works.

Open Bitdefender GUI → Protection → Online Threat Prevention → Web Protection → Disable Encrypted Web Scan

Hello.

I'm also able to access the website without any issues.

Same here, the website is displayed without any issues whatsoever. I don't think this error is caused by the antivirus (but it is plausible), because usually this is also known as "403 Forbidden," and typically occurs when a web server refuses to allow access to a requested resource.. it could have been a temporary issue. Does it work for you now? Also, are you actively using a VPN connection when trying to access that page? I'm asking because the server might be configured to block access from specific IP addresses or IP ranges.
