Nextcloud News can't fetch www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/feed

[aderrose]

I've been using this feed for a long time now but recently the parser in News fails with a 403 error, the feed still exists and Edge will show the XML in browser while Firefox will try to download a file with the contents in, but it seems equally valid.

I've included the two error messages I get for each attempt to parse the feed:

It seems your IP or the nextcloud news user agent have been blocked by the feed owner. Nothing we can do about that. You should reach out and ask how to get access again.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll look into this, the feed itself is public without credentials and I only access the feed via Nextcloud News. It has been returning errors for a few days which won't help any 'status' my IP has with ISP Review, so I've deleted the feed for now while I investigate further.

As a very quick check I've just run a curl to the URL from my Nextcloud server, and it returns a partial response from Cloudflare Challenges so probably bot blocking going on somewhere.
