GetComics DDL Option not working: stopped by a small tank

[Kreenz]

Hi,

I recently ran into a problem where the option to download comics via the DDL Direct Option (GetComics) no longer works. No matter what issue i try to download I receive the error message below. I'm running Mylar 3, master version 5.6 on Synology. I do not think the issue is with the synology though as I intsalled Mylar3 on my windows PC (using Docker Desktop) using a different CV API and received the same "unable to scrap remote site, stopped by a small tank" message. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do as it's being blocked at the cloudflare level based on your ip. We don't know if it's geographic based, or some other reasoning, but it's due to CF having their under-attack mode enabled for you. While you can probably get to the GC website normally, i believe the blocking is due to it being in a non-browser and being detected as such (altho there are some that aren't being blocked at all with the program, so it's hard to pin down the reason).

The only alternatives that may work is to try flaresolverr (altho I believe the current version has some problems), or try to change your ip if it all possible thru a router reset. If you aren't using a VPN, you can try a VPN. If you are using a VPN, if you can switch the VPN ip try that, or don't use a VPN to connect to GC.

Thanks for getting back to me!

It's working again! The option that worked for me was setting up usingVPN. Just FYI, in my case changing the IP address from my service provider didn't help, I continued to recieve the same stopped by small tank issue.

Appreciate your help with this. Stay safe.
