Cloudflare DDos protection breaks application? #60

Closed henrikmaurin closed 3 years ago

henrikmaurin commented 3 years ago

It seems I can no longer download subtitles. And I think it is because OpenSubtitles has added Cloudflare DDos protection

This makes OpenSubtitlesDownload respond with

Unable to reach opensubtitles.org servers!

Isn't that just a temporary server issue? I think cloudfare is used since the begining of this year at least. However since today (worked yesterday), I had to use my osd account, because of "401 unauthorized" error...

It might me temporary. I might have come to the wrong conclusions. I have entered my credentials, but still get errors.

Lets hope it corrects itself.

emericg commented 3 years ago

Well you don't have a 401 error so it's not the same thing, but the timing is uncanny. I've just read that they can ban unauthorized users for 24h, so let me know if it does solves itself or if we need to have another look at it.

Ok. Will test tomorrow and report back

I ran the script through a VPN. Got results. So I guess my IP is quarantined. I believe we can close this issue. Thanks for your time!
