[See Bugtracker] Random plugin errors/temporarily unavailable: Cloudflare issues

[pspzockerscene]

Nothing is impossible but the answer is: No.

The captcha type first needs to be supported in JD without captcha solvers and not even this is given in this case.
You may implement it yourself though - JDownloader is open source:

[From https://board.jdownloader.org/showth...400#post524400 - Idk how responsive folks are in old-ish threads so I'm just making a new one here too]

I started using JDownloader for a site, I was even able to sign in using cookies, after which point I was able to download 2 files and then it would say "Blocked by cloudflare" and I'd have to reload the site that the links are from and cloudflare does another "check", then I have to get the new cookie and put that into the accounts section in JDownloader, and then it downloads another 2 files, gets cloudflared again and this repeats forever. I feel as if there should be some kind of automated system to get around this, but maybe that's just too difficult. Like maybe a popup browser that grabs said cookie automatically after cloudflare does its checks? Could be a potential JDownloader workaround, a feature, if you will.

I am also sure this is a problem across multiple sites, potentially all sites that have Cloudflare protection setup this way, it would just be cool to have a patch for it in some way, even if it was a little janky.

Alright. I have just read up on Cloudscraper, of which I saw a few suspiciously alike posts that link to a page that describe it and have a link to it, however this appears to be only for devs that can link up with it with code or whatever. I am not a dev, and I have no idea how to make it work with JDownloader, nor is there an issues page on the Github page to ask the dev about it, so I'm just left in the dark.

Last edit I promise: I just saw this, which conflicts with what I am dealing with. As you can see here, it says that the site I am dealing with (very top of screenshot) can have this problem be dealt with by just using the login cookies crap, but... I've been doing that this entire time due to the fact that I can't log in without the cookies anyway, so the fact that I have this problem at all disregards this part of this post. So that is peculiar.


Nvm here's another edit: My dad told me about someone called Pszocker, this individual was legendary. they would FaceTime with him to resolve issues. No idea how long ago this would have been lol, he said it was way before Teams. If you read this, you are legendary.

Ok I have no idea why it doesn't like my image link. It's there and it does go to the image. It's literally right above this text I am typing right now.

Edit: Ok so I got an "attachment" to work, but... I can't access my own attachment!?

It would be good to know the name of the website you're dealing with.
Your screenshot contains multiple domains. Only the orange ones can be(!!can!!) "fixed" by using mentioned cookie login workaround.

I'll take that as a compliment.

In this forum, you can't.
If you want to publicly post a screenshot, upload it on a supported imaagehoster like "snag.gy" and embed it here.
If you want me to make your attached screenshot publicly visible or recover it and send it to you via PN so you can access it, let me know.

[JadensWeb]

The site is Recurbate, as I mentioned it's the one at the top of the screenshot.
It is colored amber, as you can see, but the fix that is stated... doesn't work.

Sorry, I misread that as "one of the ones at the top of the screenshot".

There is no fix and especially not one that we promise to be working.
Please also read the sentence(s) below it:

Bold orange = Cloudflare issues can happen during login process and those login related issues can in some cases be worked around with the given cookie login instructions.
You can try to use this cookie login method as a workaround to add your accounts of such providers to JD.

This list will never be complete!
The status of any entry on the above list can change at any time!

--> As long as no one is doing a daily check on all entries of that list, it is a snapshot of the day when each entry was added- and tested by me.
Also as explained in other parts of the FAQ, Cloudflare can behave differently for each users so recurbate with cookie-login may still work fine for other users at this moment.

I'am willing to update that recurbate entry in the list if more users are prividing similar feedback to yours.
EDIT

Do you own a recurbate free- or premium account?
For recurbate.com, cookie login only ever helped for premium users for which recurbate will provide an official download button when they're logged in.
I've updated the list and added this crucial information.

I do have a premium account for that site. That's the reason I am able to download at all through JDownloader.
Oh also the download button only appears for the highest tier of premium, I have the 2nd tier, not the 3rd (and highest) tier.

Ok, however I think the fix I described could potentially fix all of them and be used as a stop-gap until a more permanent solution is done. I'm not totally sure how easy that would be, but having a browser pop up and have the user log in to whatever site whenever the cloudflare thing starts happening again, so it can do checks and validate a new cookie, and have JDownloader automatically grab said cookie, and import it into the existing premium account listing added in JDownloader's Account Manager - Is probably easier than most alternatives. I know just enough about dev work to see this, but not sure if it actually is true.

[pspzockerscene]

I need to repeat myself:
We are neither working on a Cloudflare solution nor on implementing any kind of workaround.
We simply do not have the capacities to do so however JDownloader is open source so anyone can work on it.
-> I know that sounds pessimistic.

My personal opinion:
If I was eager to find a solution/workaround for this problem in JD, I would try to build a "Cloudflare bypass proxy": A proxy which is either (partially) using a real browser to process requests or one that is partially using other tools like "Cloudscraper" so in the end, JD would just continue to work as if Cloudflare wasn't there at all.
That said, it's easier said than done.

Hi, when I try to continue to download from the same link I can't on most websites (rapipgator, filejoker, etc. no accounts), is there a way to be able to continue with the download?

[pspzockerscene]

@utero
As long as a website supports resume serverside, JD will be able to resume such downloads.
That varies - some only allow resume for premium users.

[att2]

Hello,
The last few weeks, I had no problems with downloading anything from SCNLOG:
* I right-clicked on the SCNLOG Link -> JD2 found all links -> so good so far.
Just a few days ago or so, the "Cloudflare" issue re-appeared, and all direct tries to download from SCNLOG result in a
"Blocked by!Cloudflare Site-Protection"
message.
My temp solution is to open all the stuff that I want to download in a new browser tab for each release, and copy the download links from the opened browser tab. These copied links will work fine in JD2.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to automate this.

Are there any known problems with Porhub at the moment?

All 3 TLDs we know are down.

If you want me to add others to the existing plugin send them to me via PN.
Also your posts are offtopic since the down recurbate domains have nothing to do with the Cloudflare topic.

[Perene]

Please investigate if this host can also be added into the list.

https://board.jdownloader.org/showth...845#post527845

Also got the Blocked by Cloudflare Site-Protection.

[jeonje]

Dear team please add recurbate.me site plugin as a replacement for recurbate.com domain is permanently down. The site data are same as before as they have pointed their website to recurbate.me so please add the plugin.
If possible will the already downloaded files have the same name on these new plugins just to avoid duplicate downloads as the recurbate.com is just pointed to another domain recurbate.me and all the data are 100% same and intact. Nothing changed.

thanks a tons.
Jdownlaoder lover and fan.

[pspzockerscene]

@Perene
A plugin for fastupload.io already exists.
Please read this thread:
https://board.jdownloader.org/showth...845#post527845

Regarding the error message "Blocked by Cloudflare":
Please read the first post of this thread.

@jeonje
Added recurbate.me domain.
Please keep in mind that your request is misplaced in this thread - this thread is only about Cloudflare problems! A changed domain of a website is not a Cloudflare related problem!

I have a strange situation regarding. I have two instances of JD2 running on my Ubuntu machine. One is in a Docker container and one is the native Linux client.

The Docker container JD2 often throws up the "Blocked by Cloudflare" error, but the native client always works without error. They're, obviosly on the same network and I don't have "networking" type of containers in my Docker.

Any ideads?

[pspzockerscene]

As explained in the first post Cloudflare is a blackbox and only Cloudflare could tell you why it gets triggered.

recently multiple sites including recurbate.me, bunkrr.su started to have a problem when trying to load link / collect links for download.

You can add drop.download to the list of filehosts that cannot be accessed via Jdownloader due to


Links:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

They don't even get "grabbed" via linkgrabber properly, simply showing an unknown file with no details. Try to download, get the "Blocked by DDoS Guard". Been doing so for around a month. Of course they work perfectly via a standard browser.

No. I'm only adding websites to that list which look to fail for most of all users due to Cloudflare/DDoS-Guard/similar.
Also it's working fine here.

Your browser will also run into Cloudflare/DDoS-Guard but it will auto-process the challenge it is presented with.
If you want to make a deep dive into this topic, go ahead and do some more googeling.

A log is not needed.
Please read the hints presented in the first post of this thread.
It also contains the hint to contact the website owner (in this case the support staff of "drop.download") if you are running into such issues as only they can solve them.

I was just reporting that drop.download was affected. I know some sites block some users and not others, I have no way of knowing if I am the only one. I searched and couldn't find where anyone was reporting drop.download problems, so instead of opening a new ticket that would simply be told to refer to this thread, I thought I'd report it here so others who searched might find that it is a known issue.

I posted logs because if I didn't, then I'd be told you can't help without them. Damned if I do, Damned if I don't I guess.

Contacting drop.download is useless since their only response is "buy premium we don't support download managers in free mode". Some sites use it to specifically block JD and other download managers. Somehow the server knows it's JD and not a real browser, that's why it's responding back with an HTTP 403 Forbidden page rather than one that JD could parse. I open the same links in the browser, sometimes I get a DDoS-guard page (that goes away after 5 seconds) and sometimes I don't. But in JD, it's been blocked completely for around a month. Was working before that, albeit it never detected the filesize. Now it can't detect anything, just creates a dummy link in linkgrabber with no filename, size, or anything else, and of course the download doesn't work because it's blocked.

The other "hints" are inapplicable as I don't use a VPN and I don't use a proxy.

I will refrain from reporting any other sites affected since apparently it's pointless as JD isn't going to fix it.

[da21577]

Hi,

Recently recu.me(recurbate.com/recurbate.me) changed from downloadable(video downloadhelper) to stream download only. The video downloadhelper always stucks or not working therefore a part file was left in my drive only. Anyone have a solution of this or any other alternative download tools can be used?

BTW I have no idea of this post should be in here or a new thread to be raised and see anyone can tell.

Thank you.

There is nothing to fix.
All of the important information is in the first post.
JDownloader getting blocked by Cloudflare/DDoS/Guard is not a JD bug (!)

As mentioned there are also other open source tools/proxies to get around Cloudflare.
If you really want a solution for this you will find one but we will not link any public solution here since it would quickly stop working...

Hi!

I use proxy lists for downloading. Often the connection through them ends with the error, "Blocked by Cloudflare"
There is a proxy server project to bypass this protection FlareSolverr _**External links are only visible to Support Staff** Is it possible to configure the connection so:
JD -> local FlareSolverr installation -> proxy list to bypass this error?

[pspzockerscene]

As long as you got a proxy in the end the answer is yes.

[Magi]

Originally Posted by pspzockerscene

I'm sorry, I didn't realise.
How can I set up a connection chain like this?

[pspzockerscene]

A chain?
I'm sorry I do not understand:
Just setup the proxy and make JDownloader use it.,

[Magi]

Not really.
I'll describe my case.
Home server 192.168.1.7 has JD installed in docker container. FlareSolverr proxy with the same ip 192.168.1.7:8888 is installed in another container.
In JD connection manager there is a list of proxies, which is rotated once in 10 min.
Let's say that the proxy addresses in the list are:
123.34.56.78:8080
123.34.56.77:4323
The connection chain in this case should look like this.
JD 192.168.1.7 -> 192.168.1.7:8888 -> 123.34.56.78:8080
JD 192.168.1.7 -> 192.168.1.7.7:8888 -> 123.34.56.77:4323, etc.
I.e. only proxy addresses should change. Perhaps this way you can bypass CloudFlare blocking on many file-sharing sites.

[pspzockerscene]

There is no way to setup that chaim on JDownloaders side.

I'd rather setup multiple FlareSolverr instances which run on multiple different ports and assign one proxy inside each of them.
Either way what you're asking for is not related to JDownloader anymore so feel free to figure it out yourself and post possible solutions here.

[Magi]

Since the proxy list has more than 50 addresses and is rotated every 10 min, it is not possible to configure FlareSolverr in this way.
Thank you for your reply.

[pspzockerscene]

I do not understand that.

I ment something completely different:
Setup multiple FlareSolverr instances and inside them, pre-setup the proxies you want to use:
Instance 1:
192.168.1.7:8888 -> 123.34.56.78:8080
Instance 2:
192.168.1.7:8889 -> 123.34.56.77:4323
Instance 3:
192.168.1.7:8890 -> 123.34.59.77:4329
...and so on.

Then make JD use all of them.
