Can't update: mirror.cachyos.org is blocked with error 403 due to cloudflare

MBK

Hi,

All of the cachyos sites are blocked by cloudflare captchas.

The big problem with this is that pacman doesn’t have an interface to enter captchas, so it can’t update as mirror.cachyos.org fails with error 403.

It’s a lottery to update. If you are on connections with dynamic ips, some days you will be unlucky depending on the ip you get. The problem is even more apparent for users on vpns.

Hi,

Actually the pacman useragent is completly whitelisted, reason this should not really happen.
I need to look into the cloudflare logs, why exactly you got blocked.

We have two mirrors, which are not behind cloudflare:
https://mirror.lesviallon.fr
https://mirror.truenetwork.ru
https://kr.cachyos.org/

I had this problem from only one ip that was dynamically assigned by a service I am using, and saw that another poster here got error 304 with pacman as well a couple days ago, so I posted this to inform you.

Support on my side looked into this, and they say it looks like another customer was misusing that ip previously. They will look into this further to see if they can confirm why this happened.

Anyway, it would be interesting to know if you can find out on your side why we are getting error 304 on some ips.
