USING CLOUDFLARE ON YOUR WEBSITE COULD BE BLOCKING RSS USERS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

OpenRSS has flagged an issue where Cloudflare bot management is breaking RSS readers by forcing them to attempt a human challenge that they cannot fulfill. OpenRSS has suggested that domain admins could attempt to allowlist RSS readers by User Agent on reader IP but called upon Cloudflare for a more comprehensive solution. OpenRSS' latest update on the issue states that it is working with Cloudflare to become a “verified bot” but is still trying to press Cloudflare for a more comprehensive and universal solution.
