Blocked by Fortiguard under Freeware and Software Downloads

While trying to use Cursor, I ran into a “connection failed” issue. After some digging, I referred to Cursor’s client security page and discovered the APIs it uses for various actions.

It turns out that the API domains fall under the “Freeware and Software Downloads” category, which is blocked on my workplace network. This seems to be the root cause of the connectivity problem for me and other folks too.

Youll need to speak with work in this regard, there is no way around this unless you speak to IT. Tons of companies use this to protect there business network.
