Follow these simple steps:

1- Check your Master secret and your Secret. If you put a wrong Master secret or Secret, your will get Error: statusCode 403

2- Check your api settings on your Exchange. You need to put “Unrestricted access” in order to be able to connect through any IP.

3- Maybe your country IPs are banned from the Exchange, for example, Mexico and some parts of Vietnam are banned from Poloniex. In this case, your best bet is to run Gunbot on a VPS.
