I found a bit of time to investigate this as I do enjoy her content, I thought I’d be clever with a quick HTTPS proxy that enforces a cache (so I’ll never hit the upstream server more than once an hour, no matter how often the client asks). It can’t get her blog’s feed either.
It seems it fails on IPv6 but works on IPv4, and unfortunately, I build my proxy as a Cloudflare worker, which doesn’t allow me to force IPv4 when a AAAA record exists.
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=rachelbythebay.com&latest also can’t connect to her site on IPv6, but does work on IPv4.
Do you have any easy way to force IPv4? Or are you done with the hassle (which is valid, at this point, given that it seems like she’s got issues beyond just being picky about readers hitting the site too aggressively).
