If youve used Prowlarr, you might have experienced cloudflare blocking access to certain trackers.

There’s a docker-based solution called cloudsolverr which automatically bypasses these cloudflare challenges by spinning up a headless chromium browser.

Main issue is it’s heavy on resources (I have an rpi4b) and doesn’t have an easy native setup (I’ve not had time to practice with docker stuff yet).

Is there a manual way for me to resolve these cloudflare challenges so I can add the trackers? It’s mainly for public shit like 1337x just to fill out my access to TV shows where my other trackers fail or get rate-limited.

    I use a TOR proxy, it requires a little more knowledge.

    Have a docker container running TOR as SOCKS/HTTP proxy.

    NAME       CPU %     MEM USAGE
torproxy   0.07%     46.78MiB

    Added SOCKS proxy to Prowlarr. Added a tag to this proxy.

    Create/modify indexer with TOR/Onion domain, with proxy tag.

    I have that for 1337x and BTdig.

    Instead of connecting to 1337x.to wich requires CloudFlare, it connects to l337xdarkkaqfwzntnfk5bmoaroivtl6xsbatabvlb52umg6v3ch44yd.onion via TOR proxy.

    Also i can use that TOR proxy for other containers/software.
