If youve used Prowlarr, you might have experienced cloudflare blocking access to certain trackers.

There's a docker-based solution called cloudsolverr which automatically bypasses these cloudflare challenges by spinning up a headless chromium browser.

Main issue is it's heavy on resources (I have an rpi4b) and doesn't have an easy native setup (I've not had time to practice with docker stuff yet).

Is there a manual way for me to resolve these cloudflare challenges so I can add the trackers? It's mainly for public shit like 1337x just to fill out my access to TV shows where my other trackers fail or get rate-limited.

Turns out, my ISP has silently done a transparent DNS redirection. And their DNS servers are bad. Had to change to DoT to get it working. Something I should have done long ago anyway.
