Incorrect DNS settings can lead to a 403 error. If your DNS server isn't resolving the website's domain name correctly, Chrome might be trying to connect to the wrong server, resulting in a 'Forbidden' response. Try flushing your DNS cache or switching to a different DNS provider (like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS).
