Topic: Remove RSS feed behind cloudfront

Hi,
I created an account especially for this purpose as it has been bugging me for a little bit.

I use a RSS feed aggregator called FreshRSS (https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS) and I am having difficulties fetching the RSS feed of NintendoLife since July 20th, 2022.
When I tried to access it manually, I was welcomed to a typical CloudFront anti-bot page before being redirected to the actual feed.

Unfortunately, my RSS reader is not a human browser and needs to access the feed.

So I am asking you: Could you please remove the address to the feed from CloudFront protection as it makes no sense to protect it from bots - bots are what is accessing it in the first place!

Thank you and hopefully my message will be heard.

@bosam The proper channel for your issue is probably the Contact button in the red banner below.

I will submit a request through that mean as well - thank you @WoomyNNYes

@bosam I am having the same issue and just sent them a message. Hopefully they will get this fixed.

@bosam this will be related to the increased security against bots on the site at the moment... let me check into this and see if we can relax them specifically around the RSS feeds

@antdickens
I figured this was a brand new measure. Thank you for replying to the thread and hopefully it won't be that much of a configuration change for you to implement.

EDIT: It seems that the feed is now loading normally and I have updated data from July 20th 👏
