Login is not needed to read the forum, it's a xenforo based forum, do you know why there is this error? The full link was: https://www.inforge.net/forum/forums/manuali-di-hacking-e-it-security.773/?order=post_date&direction=desc but I tested it without query and without https://, the error is the same.

The url must have a protocol e.g. http:// or https://. This particular website is protected by cloudflare. I'm getting 403 Forbidden.

I tried with/without https:// but the result is the same, I suppose cloudflare is blocking such a "page scraping"

Yes cloudflare is blocking scrapers. We don't have good solutions for this.
