Hi,

I have an RSS reader subscribed to https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/atom/=
?h=3Dmaster

It does one call per week. It used to work, but now times out.

If I open that address on my browser, I am hit by "Protected by Anubis" pag=
e saying "Making sure you're not a bot!"

I'm no RSS expert, but aren't feeds meant to be read by feed readers (bots)=
? How could the feed work if it's behind bot protection? Is my client expec=
ted to solve whatever challenge Anubis is posing? Does that not defeat the =
purpose of the bot protection?

Thanks for your attention.
