wget -qO- https://www.reddit.com/
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 403 Blocked

If I open reddit when proxying through that VPS I see this:

However, redlib only shows 404 page not found and I also don't see any logs about this. Logs just say

2024-09-08T16:54:36.989147736Z Starting Redlib...
2024-09-08T16:54:37.813015096Z Running Redlib v0.31.0 on 0.0.0.0:8080!

Steps to reproduce the bug

You can't really reproduce it without having a blocked IP :)

What's the expected behavior?

At least log that it's blocked so it's easy to see the issue. Even better if a warning can be shown on the 404 page.

Thanks for all your hard work on this awesome tool :)
