HTTP 403 with RSS feeds for forum and blog
Since yesterday something changed on the forums here that is blocking fetching RSS feeds. It also affects blog at blog.prusa3d.com. I am using an RSS reader (liferea) to read several of the forums here. It was working fine yesterday, but today, all I am getting is HTTP 403 Forbidden errors. If I access the RSS feed link in a web browser, it works as expected (even if not logged in). In debugging this, I noticed that it also fails with wget, but succeeds with curl (from same system). It seems to also fail with python's requests.
In summary, this fails
$ wget 'https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/english-forum-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/?type=rss2&forum=69&topic=0' --2023-04-01 09:41:12-- https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/english-forum-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/?type=rss2&forum=69&topic=0 Resolving forum.prusa3d.com (forum.prusa3d.com)... 104.26.4.247, 172.67.71.102, 104.26.5.247, ... Connecting to forum.prusa3d.com (forum.prusa3d.com)|104.26.4.247|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2023-04-01 09:41:12 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
And this works
$ curl 'https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/english-forum-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/?type=rss2&forum=69&topic=0' (100+ lines of output not shown, but it worked)
Anyone know what might be going on? Are RSS readers collateral damage in the spam war?

To follow-up on this, it started working as expected yesterday.
