Dear community, I have an RSS Feed Trigger node set up where I am watching all of Airtable’s announcements: [https://community.airtable.com/idgpi83864/rss/board?board.id=announcements](https://community.airtable.com/idgpi83864/rss/board?board.id=announcements) I am self-hosting n8n on DigitalOcean and when trying to run the node it returns a 403 error. The feed is not auth-protected, I can access it on the web, get it on [make.com](http://make.com), AND even get it with the cloud-hosted n8n version. I also tried the regular RSS node, but unfortunately with the same output. Weirdly I can get the content when making a regular HTTP call, so I assume it’s not a firewall issue with self-hosting. Has anyone had a similar issue in the past or knows how to solve this bug? Thanks in advance! 🙂 ——— Node type `n8n-nodes-base.rssFeedReadTrigger` Node version `1 (Latest)` n8n version `1.74.3 (Self Hosted)` Time `03/02/2025, 11:23:58` Stack trace ```auto NodeOperationError: Status code 403 at PollContext.poll (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-nodes-base/dist/nodes/RssFeedRead/RssFeedReadTrigger.node.js:56:19) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at WorkflowExecute.runNode (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:651:32) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:872:51 at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1206:20 ``` ---

Hmm, This runs just fine on my own self-hosted instance (see below). I wonder if your server is blacklisted for some reason - could you try the following from the commandline on your server? `curl https://community.airtable.com/idgpi83864/rss/board?board.id=announcements` Do you see the RSS feed, or the 403 error? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/a/1/a174757ed49207c80cce2ddef691635d5d446e35.png) ---

As I mentioned before, I am using DigitalOcean and somehow it shows me the regular RSS Feed, so I assume its a n8n issue ![CleanShot 2025-02-04 at 11.28.40@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/0/5/05303770ac4de038b447f4491ccfdaf34607bafc.png) ---

Hi @zynera I would recommend to update your n8n version, as I was also not able to recreate your issue on self-hosted. ---

can you guide me toward upgrading the n8n instance, I am running it on Digital Ocean, but I couldn’t find a guide to do it and if this doesn’t work, is there another approach to fix? ---

This isn’t explain at all the procedure for DigitalOcean? ---

We only support Docker or NPM installations. If DigitalOcean uses a different method, you need to ask them. ---

Hi @zynera Can you get any more information in the DigitalOcean logs? I’m afraid this may be something out of scope for n8n and you may have to reach out to the DigitalOcean support. ---

I am able to access the RSS feed through the DO console. so I doubt that this is the case to be honest… What kind of information do you need? ---

You can look into the execution logs of n8n on your instance and see if it’s throwing any errors that could point in the right direction. ---
