There's not a single 403.

Name or service not known

The DNS lookup just fails. Nothing that the plugin can fix for you. Make sure you can reach the instance you chose from a browser.

The said instances can be reached from a browser.

[TheAssassin]

Have you tried whether the issue persists, though?

[stemy2]

I did, and the issue persists.

[TheAssassin]

Please elaborate on why you thought/think that this is a 403 (HTTP "Forbidden") problem.

[stemy2]

This is what says the error message that appears at the bottom when i'm trying to execute the addon.

[TheAssassin]

Could you make a screenshot, please? (Not sure how that works with Kodi.)
