In vlc hit Ctrl + P to open preferences and remove the checkmark from "Save recently played items" in the Privacy / Network menu to clear the cache. Save, exit and restart vlc and then try streaming again.

A 403 error means Access Denied. See this site for an explanation of why that might be happening.

First time it stopped with a HTTP 503 error. Then I started it again. After 10 minutes it froze again and when i wanted to play it again it gave me a HTTP 403 error.

Give us a direct link you're trying to play so we can check what is happening on our side.

So what ? You pass a url with a *temporary* token, it plays temporaly

But how can I get a permanent link?
If I want to integrate it in OBS, it will freeze and I would need to add it again.
