Cause (Documented platform behavior): Cloud sessions route traffic through a policy proxy; GitHub and MCP use separate channels.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Treating the mismatched certificate as a destination TLS problem; the proxy terminated the connection
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs describe the host_not_allowed 403, explain proxy termination causes cert mismatch, and give allowlist-edit steps.
Search phrasings: claude code web 403 host_not_allowed; claude code cloud session network allowlist blocked domain
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Requests to some hosts return 403 or TLS cert mismatch while GitHub and MCP connectors keep working.
- Context
- Product: Claude Code on the web / routines Component: cloud environment network allowlist proxy Operation: curl/pip/npm/WebFetch to a host from a cloud session Affected versions: unknown Environment: Claude Code cloud sandbox VM (Trusted network access) HTTP status: 403 Trigger: Destination not on the environment's allowlist (Default env = Trusted with default allowlist).

Proposed fix: [Claude Code cloud sessions] Outbound request blocked: 'HTTP 403' with 'x-deny-reason: host_not_allowed' (or mismatched TLS cert)
Recommended action: Edit the cloud environment: Network access Custom + add domain (optionally keep defaults) or Full; org-shared environments need an Owner. Not a client network problem.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
