To Reproduce

The connector is working fine - You can easily get around the Cloudflare issue because there's a popup box that asks you to confirm if you're human.

[ftfckr]

Confirmed, seems like they've turned it off as there's no challenge anymore.

[DarklySatanic]

Unfortunately that isn't correct, though it does take a while for it to pop up.

Not debilitating, it just means you may have to babysit the application as you download stuff. I'm just grateful that this is a thing, and yeah, the Cloudflare is annoying, but.. Take the bad with the good, eh?

[ftfckr]

That's ReCaptcha, not CloudFlare. ReCaptcha works fine.

[MikeZeDev]

Yeah, but i tested a bit and i dont see cloudflare anymore. There is indeed Cloudflare IIRC.

[DarklySatanic]

Aren't Cloudflare and ReCaptcha the same?

Aren't Cloudflare and ReCaptcha the same?

Not at all, not even the same company. Recaptcha is a captcha by Google, Cloudflare is way more than captchas, its the company name too

Interesting!
Okay, so basically the issue isn't getting around Cloudflare, which I know for sure is used on ReadComicOnline (at least it was) but getting around the ReCapcha? Is it just as difficult to bypass?

[ftfckr]

No, the issue was getting around CloudFlare. Hakuneko handles ReCaptcha just fine. It was, specifically, the interstitial check that CloudFlare does that was the problem. This is, IIRC, part of their "I'm Under Attack" mode that site owners can turn on or off. At the time I opened this issue, RCO had turned that on, but it would appear that they have now turned it off.

[DarklySatanic]

Ah I see.
But basically, Hakuneko still requires monitoring, no? Like, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave it running for a few hours when you're afk due to the capcha?
