> As early as only a few years ago I had never heard of any site that blocked clients because of their TLS handshake. Through recent years I have seen it happen and the use of it seems to have increased. Cloudflare has entered the chat Although I can appreciate I may be placing too much emphasis on the word "blocked," since strictly speaking they intercept your request and return text/html with a captcha in it, and I guess maybe if I were to then load that html in a browser, complete the captcha, preserve the cookies, and resubmit the request it may go through but from the "can I quickly just curl this URL that uses cloudflare?" it behaves as if it were blocked I had actually forgotten about curl-impersonate so I'm definitely going to give that a try and see if it helps
