Why am I getting a firewall alert?

There are a few reasons you might encounter a Firewall Alert while trying to access SSRN:

• You may be accessing SSRN through a computer or Intranet/internet connection that has preexisting firewall settings which could have triggered this alert.

  • If so, please check with the IT department for the organization to ensure that there are no settings that would block SSRN.
  • You can also attempt to access SSRN using a different device or internet connection.
• You may not be properly signed in to your account.

  • If so, you may need to clear your cache/cookies in your browser. When you have done this, you must close the browser window, and open a new window to sign in to SSRN.
  • Please type the site URL into the browser instead of accessing SSRN from a link or your favorites as this type of link can hold cookie problems.
