VPNs often use dynamic IP addresses that can change frequently. If your CloudFront distribution has a strict IP allowlist, a change in your VPN's IP address can lead to a 403 error because the new IP is no longer on the approved list. This is why using broad IP ranges or other authentication methods might be more suitable than relying on specific, frequently changing VPN IPs.
