I’m thrilled to report that the RSS feed issue on forum.get.it has been completely resolved! I want to express my sincere gratitude to Jacob Peebles, Falco, and Laudian for their invaluable assistance.
Initially, I was struggling to understand why Cloudflare was blocking my RSS feeds.
- Jacob Peebles started the discussion by suggesting the possibility of rate limiting on the RSS feeds, which prompted us to investigate potential Cloudflare-related issues.
- Falco then pinpointed that Cloudflare Bot protection was blocking the RSS app and suggested adding exceptions to RSS routes, providing the crucial direction.
- Laudian followed up with detailed, step-by-step guidance on creating a specific WAF rule to bypass the bot protection for RSS requests. They helped me understand the process and ensured I implemented the solution correctly.
Thanks to their combined expertise, I was able to create a WAF rule that specifically targets requests to forum.get.it ending in .rss, and set the action to “Skip” Super Bot Fight Mode. This allowed the RSS feeds to function perfectly while maintaining the security of the rest of the site.
I’m incredibly grateful for the prompt and accurate support from all three of you. Your contributions were essential in resolving this issue. Thank you again for your outstanding assistance!
