Even worse than this are sites that have RSS feeds and Cloudflare in front. Because my RSS reader doesn't look much different than a bot, and won't complete Cloudflare's CAPTCHA.

My feed reader is a swlf-hosted in Linode. I get blocked by Captcha too - but Cloudflare loves my home IP. Wireguard to the rescue.

I'm wondering if you could use something like FlareSolverr to bypass the Cloudflare CAPTCHAs.

I'm a little surprised an RSS feed itself would be rate limited/protected though.

I was running into something similar when I was accessing the API of someone's MediaWiki instance and adding User-Agent was enough to solve the problem
