Thank you for the report. There have been a couple of instances of this talked about in the discord too. It appears 4chan has altered their cloudflare protection rules to be a bit more sensitive. Though all people with the issue have reported being able to browse 4chan normally in their browsers.
Personally I haven't had the issue which makes it a bit hard to develop and test for. When I get some time I'll take a look at adding some error reporting in the GUI and maybe altering the user-agent header to see if that appeases cloudflare.
It is wired that even a static proxy can not get passed by this problem. Indeed, I can browse 4chan normally, but not able to download anything. @Keklul404 There is this thing that I have tested that currently works https://github.com/Staninna/4Chan-Media-Downloader It may suffice for the time being. @Issung Thank you for your consistent and precious update. There is only one wish from your amazing software, if a scroll bar can be added to the right when the amount of links exceeds certain amounts would be a tremendous help.
Hi @arimahoward thank you for the kind words. A scrollbar should appear when you have many threads. Could you make a separate issue with a screenshot example and I'll be happy to help when I can :)
Thank you @Issung, and yes, effectively, I have no issue browsing, posting, making threads and downloading files on 4chan with the browser.
I tested various other app and found out that YChanEx doesn't have this problem right now, so I will use it for the time being until a possible fix is found here.

Thanks, I'm using YchanEx for now until a fix is found.
Made a new release, https://github.com/Issung/GChan/releases/tag/v5.4.0. It uses a new User-Agent header, and allows you to customise it so you can do some further testing, for example copying the User-Agent header your browser uses. Let me know how it goes.
Going to test it, thank you!
EDIT: Works perfectly ! Problem fixed !
Glad to hear it @Keklul404! Please consider a contribution if you are able, I maintain this program in my spare time 😁

Since some days ago, Ychan and a fork of Ychan (2.7.0) aren't capable of downloading files (no thumbs, pictures, video etc...) only the HTML is getting scraped from 4chan. Because of this I searched an alternative and found GChan today, yet, the same issue seems to happen here (I imagine a change from 4chan servers?)
At least, GChan does have a log system, so I can get a bit of information out of it, and no matter the boards, I get this error:
I am the only one to have this issue? Browsed 4chan on 2 different browsers (both with and without incognito mode) and didn't get any issues.
Using [v5.3.0] version.
