Error 403 - Paramount +

Samilicious

Using 7.0.2.8 on Windows 11. I tried logging into Paramount + and received an Error 403 error.

I initially cleared the log file, and Temp folder, closed program. Upon relaunch same error.received.

I did a full uninstall, shutdown and fresh install of Stream Fab and receiving the same attached error.+

Any help would be appreciate.

Samilicious and can you access P+ in a regular browser?..

Also, if you want others to genuinely have a go at helping you, it helps to read the stickies before hitting the “pay me attention” button… This one would be of great help to you, unless you literally expect others to have mind-reading abilities and know what it is you’re doing, what locale you’re doing it in, and what the network setup that you’re doing it with is: https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/433509-how-to-post-issues-in-the-streamfab-section

I get the same error only if I use a detected/blocked VPN server

Same issue with no VPN, no blockers, no nothing. Works fine in standard Chrome browser.

My eyes must be bad, as I don’t see any streamfab.log, for the Paramount experts to look over.

So maybe double-check your network? Clear the Streamfab temp folder and history and even consider clearing cookies. The last thing that will clear everything is to clear the cache and delete the folder rootCachePath.
You could even attempt an uninstall of SF and install it again.

This is a 403:

A 403 Forbidden error means the server understood your request but refuses to fulfill it. You have validly connected, but the server is actively blocking your access to that specific page or file.
How to Fix It
Try these quick troubleshooting steps in order
Check the URL: Ensure there are no typos. If you are trying to view a specific file, ensure the extension is correct (e.g., .html or .php) rather than trying to view an entire folder directory.
Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Outdated or corrupted site data can cause access issues. You can clear this in your browser settings (or by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Delete on most PC browsers).
Disable VPN or Proxy: Some websites block traffic from known VPN or proxy servers or block certain geographic regions. Turn off your VPN and try again.
Change Network: Connect to a different network, such as your phone’s mobile hotspot. If the website loads, your home IP address may be temporarily blocked.

The same error, dont use vpn, proxy etc, in my chrome browser fine

Maybe a Paramount issue in certain locations?

What I get looking up 54113
Error 54113 is typically tied to a Varnish Cache server issue (often paired with a 403 or 400 status code). It means the website’s firewall or CDN blocked your request, often because your IP address was temporarily flagged or blacklisted.

Change Your IP Address (Most Effective): This error frequently means your network’s IP was flagged. Try turning on a VPN, or if you are on a mobile device, disconnect from Wi-Fi and use your cellular data (or vice versa).

Try changing your DNS.

Clear SF cache and cookies.

Its not the IP, location or network if you can log in from any other browser from the same network and device.

As I already wrote, the error occurs always when the VPN is blocked - see also here

Existing Cache/Cookies work for me from 4 different P+ accounts in 4 different continents ..
.. but I can confirm that I receive the same error with new cache and trying fresh login
(or trying to open the “Account” page with full working P+ login in SF)

So I thought it had something to do with the Android cookie with SF >7011 ..
.. but the same error occurs with a new login attempt using SF 7011 (Win Cookie)

Then I thought it was due to the half year old CEF (Browser in SF) ..
.. but login with CEF 142.0.7444.135 (like SF) is not blocked for me

I get same error when trying to login. No VPN being used. Chrome works fine.

Ok, the issue is spreading.

It’s being reported more and on reddit as well.

i have been downloading from Paramount+ with VPN on australia and don’t have problems with it, everything is working ok here.

Stan001

If you read the post here(https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/472483-error-403-paramount-/12) seems if you were and have been logged in, it’s so far ok. I am guessing those with issues either got logged out or cleared cookies in SF or other.

It was initially thought it was a soft ban by IP, but everyone still can access it through a standard browser.

It still could be specific locations it happens and then sets SF off.
Those whose accounts work keep downloading but use standard caution and hope not to get logged out.

Right now we don’t have much more on the issue, but enough reports to raise it as an issue to watch.

Might clear up by tomorrow.

Just to chime in; I can access without issue in latest SF, Win11 Pro (offline installed SF x64 as admin), US, no VPN, GoogleDNS, premium direct account (not through third party). I did have some oddity where a TV show was only showing 2 channel audio; cleared cache again; logged out, logged back in and the 5.1 audio was back to finish the other 3 seasons of a show.

Germania had an issue with one account.
It’s possable already this has or will be cleared up.
Possable on Paramounts side.
I am out of this topic as I don’t have Paramount.

From what little other info i got it seems it may have started working for others who had the issue.
I think 0xFeedBeef does and definitely Germania has access to Paramount, so they can add to this or decide if it’s no longer needed to be on watch.

I am able to login and download now. Didn’t do anything on my side to fix it.

nimrob28 I am able to login and download now. Didn’t do anything on my side to fix it.

I can confirm that fresh login working again in all four countries I tested (AR, AU, UK + US) ..
.. so apparently it was a glitch at P+ that has been fixed.
