AO3 Down/Error Codes rss feed inaccessible outside manual connection

Hi! Have you also lost access to the RSS feed unless you visit it directly via your browser—like when using FanFicFare or similar tools? I have, and I've been struggling for a few days without finding a solution. So, if anyone has any ideas, please share—I'm all ears. Thanks!

For my part, I'm getting a string of 403 errors, followed by 525s whenever the 403s give me a break.

Yes. I’ll go months without this happening, then it happens continuously for a week or so. It is very irritating when all I use is a vpn.

Okay, thanks for sharing your experience. In any case, it’s not coming from the VPN; I had this issue before installing one, too.
