I posted about this before around a month and a half ago and am still having the same issue. When I try to use the plugin to update an epub, to add a new epub, or to update an anthology from an AO3 fic, I get an error message: "HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for URL:"

I've tried using a VPN, I've tried using free public wifi at a restaurant, and I even tried someone else's personal home wifi when I visited them and they live in a different state. It is always the same message.

I know the developer won't work on the issue when it is so localized and not widespread and I get it and understand and that is fine. But even though I can just download epubs from AO3, that doesn't help with ones that are updating regularly. Unless I download a new copy every few days or whenever they update which is a non-starter and waste of time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this error so that I can once again update AO3 fics easily using the plugin? I'm not overly tech savvy or tech lingo knowledgable but I can follow directions.
