==archiving websites behind cloudflare or any other blockers==

Hello,

wondering if there's a method to archive content behind a bot blocker (mostly cloudflare). I'm trying to archive #41 of [[Accellion data breach]] : https://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/5:2021cv01203/373802

I've thought that I could do something like pass the flare check on the browser, then save the site contents, then upload them somewhere and archive that.

Do you or any of the other moderators know if archiving protected sites is possible? Any help is appreciated. [[User:Left4Code|Left4Code]] ([[User talk:Left4Code|talk]]) 03:14, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
