How to unblock RSS feeds on Cloudflare hosted sites?


My blog[1] is hosted on Cloudflare pages. Fee of my readers complained that they’re unable to add my blog in multiple rss readers. Any ideas to bypass this ?

Nothing happened?

Use a page rule for the URL pattern of the RSS feeds, and set the bot protection to off.

I configure following the steps of this post and it works for me.

It was written in Chinese, so I just translated it to English.

Login to your Cloudflare dashboard->Your domain

Your feed is https://example.com/feed in there

# Method 1. By WAF rule

1. Security->Bots Enable Bot Fight Mode Disable Block AI Bots

2.Security->WAF->Create rule

# Method 2. By page Rules just disable the security

Rules->Page Rules->Create Page Rule

URL(required ) example.com/feed

Then the settings are: Disable Security

All the issues I experience on the internet are related to cloudflare. Only way around them appears to be: don't use Firefox, allow all tracking and ads.

Any site that throws cloudflare shit up infront of me before I either can get to the site or use a service are immediately discarded as a useless site.

Do yourself a favor and don't use cloudflare: https://expatcircle.com/cms/why-you-should-never-use-cloudfl...

I am currently thinking about signing up to https://politepol.com/en/prices It can circumvent the Cloudflare blockage of some blogs where I want to subscribe to the RSS feed. Clownflare is the cancer of the internet.

Worse, even if you don't use it, some wordpress plug-ins seem to use it. You can see if you use the no-script extension. I just threw out a plug-in that I found always suspicious. I think it may have been one cause why my pictures did not index well on google. It seemed to use alicdn without even bother to mention this. WTF?
