Getting "com.Fitbit.HTTP error 403" when trying to sync through WiFi.

All IOS devices give me this error when connected to wifi to setup my Fitbit.

Router:  Asus RT-AC88U (reset router to default and disabled firewall).

Watch:  Fitbit Ionic, latest firmware and software 2.3.6.  Issue began yesterday Tues 01/22).

403 is a "forbidden" error, so something isn't right on the Fitbit app side.

Have tried all of the usual:

Reset the watch, uninstalled the app, reinstalled, tried on multiple IOS devices (2018 model iPad and iphone 8 plus).  Bluetooth works fine with all my other devices.  All other websites work perfectly.

 

What is strange is the sync works if I use cellular data (Verizon).

Don't know - but the watch will update the IOS app with steps; just not sync to the Dashboard / weekly challenges.  Tried everything, but once I noticed the app was just updated I'm thinking there's something amiss on the Fitbit side.

I had to turn off my VPN to eliminate this error.
