I don't know if cloudflare offers it, but whitelisting the URL of the RSS feed would be much more effective than filtering user agents.

- derkades 2y agoYes it supports it, and I think that's what the parent comment was all about
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoSpecifically, whitelisting the URL for the bot protection, but not the cache, so that you are still somewhat protected against adversarial use.
- londons_explore 2y agoAn adversary can easily send no-cache headers to bust the cache.
- acdha 2y agoThe CDN can choose whether to honor those. That hasn’t been an effective adversarial technique since the turn of the century.
- londons_explore 2y agodoes cloudflare give such an option? Even for non-paid accounts?
- acdha 2y agoThey ignore request cache control headers, I believe unconditionally so you’d have to disable caching for the endpoints which clients are allowed to request uncached.

- jks 2y agoYes, you can do it with a "page rule", which the parent comment mentioned. The CloudFlare free tier has a budget of three page rules, which might mean that you have to bundle all your rss feeds in one folder so they share a path prefix.
