 * When I want to open my self-hosted website via the WordPress iOS app, I get an
   HTTP 403 error. I get this message when retrieving media and pages\messages.
 * When I switch to 5G on my iPhone, retrieving etc. works in the app.
   So it seems
   that something is blocked on my network. I have this on some networks and not
   on others (outside the home).
 * My website can be accessed via the browser. Does anyone else have this problem
   and does he know what I need to do to solve this? It is very annoying because
   I have to switch to my 5G all the time to be able to work from the WP app.

 * Sounds to me like a connection problem between your internet access and your 
   hosting. I would recommend that you contact your hoster’s support team. They 
   may be blocking access from certain IPs or IP ranges that also include your access.
 * I don’t think WordPress can help here, unless you use a security plugin in your
   project that could also trigger this blocking. In this case, I would recommend
   that you contact the support team for this security plugin.

 * Hi [@marijnvdgruiter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marijnvdgruiter/),
 * Indeed, it seems like your host may be blocking certain IP ranges, so reaching
   out to them is a good next step. Also, check if any security plugins on your 
   site are restricting API requests.
 * Additionally, if you’re comfortable sharing your site URL, we can check if anything
   stands out. Let us know what you find!
 * Best regards,
   Alin
