1467809 2020-04-01 09:43:00 Hi! Why am I unable to access psychologytoday.com site on my internet browsers? I receive a message 403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /intl on this server.
Thanks,
Rashid

But my friend can access the pages on his mobile browser. I once used Hola extension on Chrome. Do you think it has anything to do with it? How can I undo it?

Disable your extensions and see if it fixes the issue.

I removed the extension already but still receive the same message of 403 Forbidden. Is it possible that the website has blocked my IP address on suspicion after use of Hola VPN?

A standard Connection (no VPN) will be different. That's the one reason behind a VPN, shows at the server as a different location to where you actually are.

What could be reason for not accessing psychologytoday pages on my PC and android browsers both? I scanned my computer for malewares as well but to no avail.

If its only that site, then you need to ask their website admins
They could be blocking your IP for some reason

Or the shortcut/bookmark you use no longer works
try this link , it works here
