[VU+ Zero4K] Err0r 403 Forbidden when running netspeedtest plugin

[Gollom122]

Since flashing to latest image the plugin netspeedtest reports error - cannot retrieve speed test configuration. Error HTTP Error 403 forbidden.
Also tried Internet Speed test plugin version 1.3 by madhouse with the same error..
I have Authentication required in openwebif for both HTTP and HTTPS in case the speed test referenced this.
My Amiko Viper4K running the same 6.2.008 behaves the same, so it looks like a bug or a setting needs changed from previous version.
Its not a firewall issue as my pc runs ookla fine

On my VuDuo4K SE running 6.2.008, it works



Albeit, it did display message briefly that a command was depreciated and it should be is_set instead of isset (or vice versa).

Wonder if it’s an ISP issue. I’m with Sky BB. Although it worked yesterday on 6.2.006 but I also got the deprecated line. 6.2.008 throws the error and that’s all.

Just tried again and it’s working now. So either a spurious issue or ISP.
Please close this ticket.

Me too. I don't have Sky Shield enabled so totally unrestricted.

I do use 1.1.1.1 for DNS lookup which is done via my router, Asus, instead.

403 is returned by the remote server so I can't see how it could be a connection issue.

Have you tested the URL using a regular browser?
