This is highly related to my university application, so please, I am begging for help.
I study in UK and now I am abroad.
I tried to find a password for the website, then it said

"The web application firewall has blocked access to /.../ for following reason
No Signature Found"

I do not know how to solve this problem.
I tried VPN, other web browsers.
BTW, I use home wifi, and have window 10 laptops

Thank you for your considerations.

Who's firewall is this? If this is an institution's firewall, I don't believe we are permitted to assist the bypassing of it.

I am not quite a tech guy so i dont know much.
But I think my interenet has no firewall, or at least not that I know of

That's great to hear!
for future information: when ever you see a message saying "The web application firewall has blocked access" that means the security system on the remote server has blocked you getting in.
If it is an apache server then it will be a mod security rue that has triggered. It could have been your IP number not being in an approved block ( IE a UK IP range & others from certain countries were blocked) or it could be too many attempts to log in and a temporary lock out applied
Generally you get a message saying what the problem is with a 403/404/405/406 error message

always note down the message & contact the website /Uni IT support / admin for assistance
