Varnish not purging via Magento 2 - throwing 403 Forbidden error - help please

[John Risby]

Great, thanks Per. That's helped narrow it down. I'll check the Magento
code and see what it is doing. Should hopefully be simple to fix.

Don't worry about the second bit, as long as it purges the cache, that's
the main thing.

Thank you
John
