      FlareSolverr hasn’t actually worked in a long time though, since CloudFlare started paying attention to it. And it wouldn’t even work for this problem. This is CloudFlare refusing to allow DNS requests for the pirate sites, and instead redirecting users to their “this is a pirate site that was shut down for breaking the law” page. Which FlareSolverr wouldn’t solve even if it was functional, because FlareSolverr only solved the “are you a bot” captcha challenges, not automatic redirects due to DNS.

      The constant stream of piracy related utilities that end in “rr” never ceases to amuse me.

      Bonus joke! “What’s a pirate’s favourite letter of the alphabet?”

      (People often say Arrrrr! here, especially if you seed that context earlier in the conversation)

      “You’d think so, but actually it’s C”
