Artstation Cloudflare challenge 403 error

[Bliwi]

This started happening about a week ago, any artstation link I try returns this same error.
After some reserach I found people having the same issue in the past, I tried changing the user agent, pulling cookies from the browser and editing the config file but the error still persists.

I have changed my IP address, tried a vpn, tried using mobile data.
Even in a different windows install and the same error still persists.
I believe the problem is in the windows CLI executable.
Unfortunatly I don't have access to a machine with linux to test at the moment.

Update:
My reason for using the exe package was because pip wans't installing packages properly on my machine, but I was able to get it working on a secondary machine through the pip install.
Regardless this error still persists when using the exe.
