Cloudflare WAF on viper.cx

[moonman88]

Hi all,

A while ago I created a program that reads one of viper.cx's forums so that it can generate an RSS feed. The program is very careful to be as light as possible on resources and makes heavy use of caching to avoid hitting this server too much. It gets invoked just a few times per day.
I think that because of a recent change on Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall configuration, all of AWS' IPs are now blocked
Was this done intentionally?
If so, are there any plans to add RSS feeds to the forums?

Thanks.

Hello,

There was some suspicious traffic which prompted the cloudflare firewall to activate. Once it's protection period ends, most if not all tools should work again without issue. Alternatively, resolve the captcha on your AWS instance by opening a browser in it. This works with headless and command-line browsers too.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I'll just wait then
