Yes, using a VPN can sometimes trigger 403 errors. Blizzard's Terms of Service may restrict or prohibit the use of VPNs, and using one could be interpreted as an attempt to circumvent regional restrictions or engage in unauthorized activities. Try disabling your VPN and accessing Battle.net directly.
