Look at this: > [@Redirected to InfinityFree 403 Forbidden page](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/redirected-to-infinityfree-403-forbidden-page/58664/1): > > ## Your site blocks access from your IP address > > With .htaccess rules, it’s possible to selectively block or allow visitors based on their IP address. But using these rules, it’s also possible to lock yourself out of your site. > > To do so, open a file manager or FTP connection to your site, go to the website folder and open the file `.htaccess`. > > If there are lines starting with `deny from` or `allow from` in the file, it means IP access control is configured on your site. > > If you do not want to do any IP level restriction, you can simply remove all these lines from your file. > > If there is a line `allow from all`, you should look for any lines with `deny from ....` that contain your IP address. > > If there is a line `deny from all`, then you should add a line with `allow from ....` that contains your IP address. Did you ever accidentally blocked anything? Mention that both of the urls (with or without www) resolve, but both redirect me to 403. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/403-forbidden-error-after-ssl-certificate-renewal/80213)._
