3 Combined filters fail

Open metbril opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

When drilling down through tags, Cloudflare shows an error.

Example: go to my blog, and filter 3 levels deep:

https://vanbregt.eu/blog > #meta > #technology > #dns

Ah, this is part of the web application firewall by Cloudflare since scraper bots (including Google/Bing) like to follow all links. They tend to re-scrape the page an infinite amount of times by just shuffling around the tags. Eg: https://vanbregt.eu/blog/?q=meta,technology,dns then https://vanbregt.eu/blog/?q=meta,dns,technology then https://vanbregt.eu/blog/?q=dns,meta,technology, etc.

I'm going to fiddle around with the WAF blocking bot traffic from using tags, while maintaining the ability for humans to do it.
