nope, my digital ocean vps works just fine.

I know this is an old issue but I can confirm that CL will auto-block after a while, ran for about 3 days before getting 403'd. Gonna have to figure out some sort of rotating VPN solution perhaps.

You know what's funny, I tried wget from DO vps and it works, but if I curl (from PHP) it gets blocked, even if I use all browser's headers 1:1. Can't figure out why this is happening (wget url returns 200 status while curl 403)
