403 Forbidden Error When Visiting an ncsu.edu Website


If you see a 403 Forbidden error when going to an ncsu.edu-hosted website, that usually means your IP address has been blocked by the FortiADC Firewall. These blocks can sometimes be indefinite. To bypass the error, you can connect to NC State's VPN, or connect to a different network.
