<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="979" height="731" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-376.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1388194" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image-376.png 979w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...00x224.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...68x573.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/cloudflare-errors/troubleshooting-cloudflare-1xxx-errors/#error-1020-access-denied" data-type="URL" data-id="https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/cloudflare-errors/troubleshooting-cloudflare-1xxx-errors/#error-1020-access-denied" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cloudfare.com</a></figcaption></figure>
</div>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background"><img decoding="async" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f4a1.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Quick Fix Cloudfare Reason:</strong> The 1020 error messages are produced by Cloudflare, possibly due to reasons such as using TOR, accessing OpenAI from a blocked domain or country, or using a proxy server or VPN.

After completing this process, refresh the page and check if the error has been resolved. <img decoding="async" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Adjusting Browser Extensions and Permissions</h3>
<p>Browser extensions and add-ons might interfere with your access to the ChatGPT service. To eliminate this possibility, disable your browser extensions one by one and try reloading the page. If the error persists, check your browser’s site data and permissions for OpenAI, and update them as necessary by navigating to the settings menu. Learn more from this resource on <a href="https://digiworthy.com/2023/03/25/chatgpt-error-code-1020-access-denied/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">how to fix ChatGPT Error Code 1020</a>. <img decoding="async" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f6e0.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Configuring DNS Settings</h3>
<p>Sometimes, DNS settings can cause connectivity issues. To resolve this, change your DNS server settings to a reliable alternative, such as Google’s public DNS addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), by accessing the “Properties” of your internet connection in the Control Panel. Input the new DNS addresses and save the changes. Reboot your device and check if the error is still present.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Resetting Network Connections</h3>
<p>Lastly, consider resetting your router and Wi-Fi network. Unplug your router from power for at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in. Afterward, reconnect your devices to the Wi-Fi network and try accessing the site again. If the issue persists, you may need to look into other network-related settings or reach out to OpenAI support for further assistance.<img decoding="async" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f310.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Access Denied Scenarios</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Daily Limit Usage <img decoding="async" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f4ca.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h3>
<p>If you encounter the Error 1020 with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, it might be due to the daily limit usage. Each user has a certain quota to stay within, preventing system overloads and maintaining smooth functionality.
