Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

NJPW World tweaked their site again a few days ago such that their login page has changed. I tried to use a workaround of stating referer as https://front.njpwworld.com/auth , but it gives 403 error as stated above. I get the same error if no referer is specified. I can give auth credentials via email if you need it.
