SoundCloud users accessing the platform via VPN connections are encountering a 403 'forbidden' error, preventing access to the service. The issue has persisted for four days, affecting users globally, particularly those in regions where SoundCloud is restricted. SoundCloud has acknowledged the problem and is working to resolve it, but no timeline for a fix has been provided. The platform's open, unmoderated nature has led to restrictions in countries like China, Russia, Venezuela, and Kazakhstan, making VPNs essential for access in these regions. Users have reported mixed success with workarounds, and the root cause of the configuration changes remains unclear.
