Description

"Cloudflare has blocked this request. Probably your IP is banned for this site, check in your web browser."
However, when I open the site manually in a browser, there is no ban.
I also tried accessing it using Patchright and taking a screenshot, and it says that I am banned — most likely, the site detects that Selenium is being used. I also used two different IPs — one on a VDS and the other from my home — and in both cases I got the same error.
