 * Just sharing this to help other people. I was getting a 403 error ([https://www.screencast.com/t/urXuCizQbjp](https://www.screencast.com/t/urXuCizQbjp))
   with Stealth Mode Lite checked. I noticed because all my traffic in GA was shown
   as direct. I looked at some past similar issues in this forum, checked my folder
   permissions for the uploads/caos/ folder ([https://www.screencast.com/t/8aIVIKGFK](https://www.screencast.com/t/8aIVIKGFK))
   but they looked okay.
 * Then I did a little Googling and saw that the 6G Firewall can cause 403 errors
   with other plugins. I use Gridpane for this site and have 6G Firewall active.
   So I tried it with the 6G Firewall off, and the 403 error is gone.
 * As I understand it, I’d have to whitelist my server IP in the firewall for this
   error to disappear, but for now I think I’ll just keep the firewall on and uncheck
   Stealth Mode Lite (doing it this way there is also no 403 error). Does Stealth
   Mode really make that big a difference in GA data?
