Is there a chance to exclude community RSS endpoints from the IP block?

2 years ago by mao to c/meta

Hey sup:)

Idk if it's Cloudflare or something, but the problem is I have an RSS reader hosted on my Hetzner server in Germany, and requests originating from its IP are blocked. Well not exactly blocked, but they return HTML titled "Just a second..." rather than just RSS.

For example:

GET https://programming.dev/feeds/c/python.xml?sort=Active

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
   <head>
      <title>Just a moment...</title>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
      <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
...

Obviously I totally understand if you wouldn't want to do that – I'm sure it's there for a reason, I was just hoping that this single endpoint could be an exception =]

Thanks!

"Just a second" is the cloudflare page before the session has been verified.
