RSS feeds no longer work

[jek]

Has there been a change in the RSS feeds configuration? Since a few days ago (the evening of the 14.), they no longer work for me. It seems that the DDOS protection (?) is intercepting the access to the feeds.

No change at all – the daily emails run off the RSS feed so if it was down those would be failing.

https://www.headforpoints.com/feed/ is fine as you can check.

It seems to depend on which IP one comes from.

For me, the feed is not working (I checked). There are feed validators that also show that it is not working, for example, https://www.rssboard.org/rss-validator/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.headforpoints.com%2Ffeed%2F
Another examples is feedless.org

However, the W3C validator seems to work.

Something is off. Which DDOS service are you using?

If you are using Cloudflare, have you set up rules to disable the captchas on the feeds?

I have the same problem. this is what my reader spits out:

That’s not an option we have AFAIK but will dig.

Is there an RSS feed for the forums?
