Why am I getting an "unable to update url base from redirection" error in Source Tree?

Anytime I try to do anything (push, pull, clone a new repo) in sourcetree I get the following error:

Command: git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no- 
optional-locks ls-remote [**REPO URL**]
Output: 
Error: fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
  asked for: [**REPO URL**]/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
redirect: http://10.8.1.31:15871/cgi-bin/blockpage.cgi?ws- 
session=18446744073333433429

It was working fine for me yesterday, but now this

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the problem still persists

Your are using git over http, your traffic goes through a forcepoint websense (an http firewall / filter), and your traffic is filtered. You either need to ask your administrator to accept the traffic, or connect from elsewhere.
