# Error 1003: Direct IP access not allowed

## Issue

You attempted to open a linked Flow after completing another Flow, but it failed to open, displaying **Error 1003 - Direct IP Access** not allowed.

## Probable Cause

This error occurs when the Flow is linked incorrectly, particularly when the Flow ID is not in the required format.

## Suggested Solution

While [connecting the Flows](/studio/docs/linking-two-flows), ensure that the Flow ID of the Flow you want to link is in the following format:

**wfx-< flow ID >**

For more information on how to copy the Flow ID and connect the Flows, see [Link two Flows](/studio/docs/linking-two-flows).
