Hello the list, I need help with working around 403 errors from all URLs under https://www.w3.org Accessing any URL from Firefox browser (including top-level https://www.w3.org/) gives me 403 errors, and same for other browsers, starting yesterday. I have a few machines at home, all on same WiFi network, and this only happens on one of them. I have seen the page at https://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic/, but that talks of 503 errors, not 403. I assume it is possible that some software on “the bad machine” has been causing excess traffic to you, but I have no idea what software that is, and would be surprised if your response to that also includes accesses to the top-level https://www.w3.org/. Hence I doubt that I’m actually caught by your excess traffic “defences”. Any suggestions what else may be going wrong here, any other workarounds? -- Alan
