Unblock some routes from Bot protection
Hey there! I was finding out why does my Bluesky PDS doesn't work with video uploads, and seems like Cloudflare is sending Bluesky's upload blob request to a managed challenge mode. I have created a skip rule for the bot itself, and all requests that starts with /xrpc, with no avail.
How can I make it unblock the bot?

First check the firewall events to see which feature is blocking the requests.

Seems to be Bot fight mode
Here's all the rules I said to skip
Bot Fight Mode cannot be skipped by WAF Rules or other "Bypass" actions.
Bot Fight Mode is a very aggressive solution that should only be enabled if you are actively under attack.
Remedies:
- Upgrade to a Paid plan and use Super Bot Fight Mode
- Disable Bot Fight Mode
sad, I disabled bot fight mode then, thanks!
