Hey, thanks for the report. The IP `104.18.16.128` is Cloudflare, so a 403 can happen for a few different reasons. A couple questions to narrow it down: 1. Are you using a VPN or a corporate network or proxy? 2. What region are you in? 3. Did this APT repo work fine before? As a temporary workaround, you can download the `.deb` directly from the [downloads page](https://cursor.com/downloads) and install it with `sudo dpkg -i`. I’ll pass this to the team. We know about issues with the Linux APT repo, but 403 Forbidden specifically is a new symptom. Let me know the answers to the questions above. ---
