403 error from Netlify hosted feeds

[davidsneighbour]

This issue is the same as described in #113, this time at Netlify. The workaround is identical, using an RSS proxy service. The one mentioned in #113, rssmix.com, is not working anymore. I used https://rssproxy.migor.org/. I sent a note to the team at Netlify, but I don't expect them to be too accommodating, as it's on the free tier.

You may need to whitelist the GItHub IP (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/about-githubs-ip-addresses) addresses on Netlify. We can't do anything to fix this issue. Please contact netlfy support team to fix this issue.

Last week, my gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow stopped working. The GitHub Action kept returning a 403 error, and my Gmail inbox was flooded with job failure notifications.

This evening, I looked into it. When I turned off Cloudflare's Bot Fight Mode in the security settings, then re-ran the GitHub Action job, it started working normally again.

I hope my experience can be helpful to others who might encounter a similar issue.
