404 Not Found for dynamicRules.json on startup (Version 3.2.4) #562

### Issue Description:

Problem Description:
When starting ofscraper (version 3.2.4), the application consistently fails to initialize due to a 404 Not Found error when attempting to retrieve the dynamicRules.json file from GitHub. This prevents any further operation, including authentication and content downloads.

Full Error Traceback:

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Activate the ofscraper_env virtual environment.
  2. Run ofscraper.exe from the command line.
  3. The error appears immediately upon startup before any menu prompts.

Observations & Troubleshooting:

  • Manual URL Check: I have manually tried accessing the problematic URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deviint/onlyfans-dynamic-rules/main/dynamicRules.json in a web browser (Firefox). This also returns a 404 Not Found error, confirming that the file is not available at that location.
  • ofscraper Version: ofscraper version 3.2.4 is installed.
  • Update Attempt: Running pip install --upgrade ofscraper confirms that ofscraper is already at the latest version (Requirement already satisfied: ofscraper in ... (3.2.4)).
  • auth.json: My auth.json file has been manually corrected to include complete and up-to-date user_agent and cookie information, but this issue occurs before authentication is even attempted.

Expected Behavior:
ofscraper should start successfully and proceed to the main menu without encountering external file download errors.

Environment:

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • ofscraper Version: 3.2.4
  • Python Version: Python 3.10
  • Browser used for auth extraction: Firefox

Additional Context:
This appears to be an issue with an outdated or incorrect URL for dynamicRules.json within the ofscraper codebase, as the file is genuinely not found on GitHub.
