But they are less reliable. FlareSolverr + official domain is preferred.

FlareSolverr acts as a proxy server designed specifically to bypass Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection mechanisms. It creates a local web server that your indexing software (like Jackett or Prowlarr) can communicate with.

For automatic torrent searches (e.g., Sonarr/Radarr), consider caching or using a different indexer.

Instead of sending a direct request to the target website, the request is sent to FlareSolverr. FlareSolverr then launches a headless browser (using Python, Selenium, and Chrome/Chromium) to visit the site. It waits for the Cloudflare challenge to resolve—simulating a real human user visiting the page—and then returns the verified cookies and HTML content to your indexer.

: These are specifically designed to stop automated "bots" from hogging the site's bandwidth or scraping its database. Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

FlareSolverr enables Prowlarr/Jackett to access 1337x by bypassing Cloudflare protections, though users frequently face timeout errors, invalid cookies, or IP bans. Troubleshooting steps include updating to the latest FlareSolverr version, increasing maxTimeout settings, and ensuring correct indexing tags.
