Bierdopje is using cloudfare for DNS etc.. it should make the site quicker,
faster, more responsive etc..
There is however a side affect: it is possible that users are being blocked by
cloudfare due to their 'anti-virus' protection mechanism. A user is being
forced to enter a 'chapta' keyword to enter the site.
Autosub is requesting data from api.bierdopje.com so far so good, this api site
is not using cloudfare, but .... when downloading the actual sub, you are
downloading it from www.bierdopje.com/download/xxx
and this is behind the cloudfare stuff ... Meaning: you can see new subs, but
cannot download as you cannot enter a chapta keyword.
1. As user you are not sure why you are blocked
2. As user you will give AutoSub the blame but cannot find the solution,
causing a lot of support issues for autosub
3. no real direct support available from the maintainers of bierdopje
In my situation, a open proxy at a server at home was the cause that 2 entries
were made at a honeypot, the IP was cleared, but still cloudfare was showing
the 'anti-virus' page at random occassions making it unreliable to run autosub
To solve this I kindly ask the support of a Proxy
As my Python skills are not sufficient I am unable to add the support myself
but this is it:
add following to Bierdopje.phy
proxy_url = "http://[ip-address proxy]:port"
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': proxy_url})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
the webinterface should allow to use the proxy with enable / disable
and the user can only use it when entering an proxy ip by themselves
Auto-Sub has the library part for the proxy already available, cause with above
statement and correct IP-Address / Port I am using it.
