Go by Rigel. Look out for the aliens 
Yeah, it's the same on PC; the route plotter isn't always able to route around the permit locked areas and will just give up. Unfortunately, there's no way to see the permit locked areas on the galmap (but I bet some people have figured it out and there is a map online somewhere) The way I approach it is to pick a star a good chunk of the way there and then plot a route the rest of the way when I get closer. If you can't get straight to your specific destination, try routing above, below, or to the side and working from that point. Remember you can filter your route to visited stars, which may come in handy getting back! (there are some areas you can get in to but it's hard to go the other way back home). Good luck and enjoy your trip!
Permit locked areas are usually easily be bypassed by dropping down or climbing up to the edges of the galaxy, it's not hard and you don't need a huge jump range, I have done it in a 30ly jump range T6. Just drop down low, select a star directly below you target nebula at the same height you are and off you go. Other methods work, as suggested by Tetra Trash, fly as close as you can to the permit locked area, navigate around it.
The reason the route plotter won't do it is because it is not able to map a large deviation from the direct route, this prevents people waiting sometimes 30 minutes or more as used to happen before this change was made. The galaxy is huge, there are a lot of stars, trying to plot every possible route around a blockage just doesn't work, humans are much better at that than computers.

Thank you all for the replies, I just wondered if something might have changed. I remember, a long time ago, when I went to the Wichhead nebula to fight Thargoids, I had to route around some permit locked zones. I did not think that it would be the same for the Orion nebula.
I am still wondering why the permit locked zones exist, curious to know what is in there that we should not see. Maybe Fdev should just unlock it, at least for consoles, probably won’t happen now since they stopped supporting and updating ED Legacy.

Welcome to the 8th article of the Biscuit Bugle! This week we’ll be talking about the arrival of Sirius Corporation in Merope, the Alliance’s request for Thargoid data and materials, and a fascinating report about the galaxy’s Permit-Locked Regions.

Very interesting, might take a trip to get the last bit to get my exploration Elite by using this info.There is a page on the Canonn website that discussed the subject:
