If you're seeing a 403 response that contains Cloudflare branding in the response body, this is the HTTP response code returned along with many of our security features:

* [WAF Custom or Managed Rules](/waf/) with the challenge or block action
4951
* [Security Level](/waf/tools/security-level/), that is set to Medium by default

* [DDoS Protection](/ddos-protection/), that is enabled by default on zones onboarded to Cloudflare, IP applications onboarded to Spectrum, and IP Prefixes onboarded to Magic Transit

* Most [1xxx Cloudflare error codes](/support/troubleshooting/cloudflare-errors/troubleshooting-cloudflare-1xxx-errors/)

* [SNI](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-sni/) mismatch: a 403 error is returned if there is a mismatch caused by the client sending a different host to the SNI
