Blocked Access to ClamAV Database Mirrors (403 Forbidden)

[giga758]

I am encountering a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to update ClamAV virus databases using FreshClam or directly through wget. The issue appears to be related to restrictions from the ClamAV CDN. Below are the details:

• ClamAV Version: 1.4.1
• FreshClam Version: 1.4.1
• OS: Linux

Error Message:

ERROR: FreshClam received error code 403 from the ClamAV Content Delivery Network (CDN).
ERROR: Database update process failed: Forbidden; Blocked by CDN.

Steps Taken:

1. Confirmed that ClamAV and FreshClam are up-to-date.
2. Attempted to download databases directly from the following URLs:
   • https://database.clamav.net/main.cvd
   • https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd
   • https://database.clamav.net/bytecode.cvd
3. Tried using alternative mirrors:
   • https://db.us.clamav.net
   • https://db.eu.clamav.net
4. Verified that my configuration complies with ClamAV’s documentation and the FreshClam usage policy.

The issue persists across all attempts.

Request:
Please verify if there are any known restrictions or blocking rules affecting the ClamAV CDN. I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue or if there are alternative mirrors available that can bypass the restrictions.
