403 (Forbidden) Error

I doubt this will result in anything, as I have found 6 other posts from players with the exact same issue, many occurring in 2021, none of them containing any solution other than one, in which the player said "it has been solved, just like nothing happened, but I didn't do anything, so weird."
I play IW5 and its been working flawlessly for damn near 4 months up until today, when I tried to open plutonium, I was greeted with this screen:
Upon Clicking OK I was brought to this:
I figured it was unusual but maybe running it would allow me to fix the issue somehow, it didn't. I was shown the log-in screen, and after putting in my details, nothing happened
Before you ask, no, it doesn't matter what you put in the box, its the same message every timeNow the only solutions found in the other players' posts were to:
Restart my Router/Modem: Does Not Work
Restart my PC: Does Not Work
Uninstall/Reinstall Plutonium: Does Not Work
Uninstall/Reinstall Game Files: Does Not Work as the issue is with Plutonium.exe and not with my game files
Unpin/Re-pin Plutonium: Does Not Work
Make Exception through Firewall: Does Not Work
Make Exception through Antivirus: Does Not Work, I do not use an Antivirus, no one else did
Make Exception through Windows Defender: Does Not WorkI was hoping to play today, instead I wasted 2 hours on an unfixable issue, and probably won't be able to play ever again
If anyone has a way to fix this I'd be grateful

There is a connection issue on your side.
Either antivirus or dns or firewall or vpn etc probablyCan you detail what you did when you say you uninstalled Plutonium?
Also how do you run Plutonium? Please provide details -
Resxt I just deleted the .exe since there's no other files to my knowledge. I run plutonium by just running the .exe on my desktop, worked fine til now
-
Jigachadd there are other files. Try deleting the Plutonium folder in %localappdata% with the launcher closed then run plutonium.exe from your desktop and try to login and play again
-
Resxt Ok fairly large update, I did just that and while I am greeted with the same 403 error, instead of launching in LAN I'm greeted with a screen that says I am "Missing crucial plutonium files and should connect to the internet" soo... plutonium doesnt have access to my network?
-
You have something blocking the updater.
Like I said earlier
Either antivirus or dns or firewall or vpn etc -
Resxt looks like CF to me.
-
Hmm, just like the person I mentioned in the post, I got on today and the updater works, but I still can't log in
-
Jigachadd I'm able to launch the updater, it connects to the internet, but I'm still met with that "json.exeption.parse.error 101"
