CF Workaround: JapScan
JapScan uses a first-tier Cloudflare instance that checks the browser session at the first visit. The lifespan of Cloudflare browser sessions are relatively short and you will have to repeat the following steps everytime you get to see a new Cloudflare browser check.
When trying to fetch manga info or checking for new chapters FMD can't get any infos or chapters. Trying to manually check the manga info, could result in this:
Go to JapScan and wait until the Cloudflare browser check is done and redirects you to the actual webpage:
If the Cloudflare browser check didn't show, it would be okay, because you already have a working session.
The following steps were done with Mozilla Firefox. Other browsers also have developer tools, but are a bit different.
After the website is loaded properly, press F12 to open the developer tools. When the bottom bar of the devtools has popped up, refresh the website by hitting F5. Go to the "Networkanalysis" tab in the devtools pane and select an element in the list (the top element is probably the best choice). Next to the element list you can now find the detailed session information, such as the UserAgent string and cookies. Start with getting the UserAgent of your browser:
Now you have to put the UserAgent string into the advanced settings for JapScan in FMD and set all shown values to 1:
To get the cookies you can change to the Cookies tab in the detailed session pane of the selected element:
These cookies all have to be added to the advanced settings for JapScan in FMD:
The cookies in FMD should be set in the following format:
__cfduid=xxxxxx;
cf_clearance=xxxxxx;
session=xxxxxx
Please note, that you have to correctly set the '=' and ';' characters!
If everything was done correctly, you should be able to get the manga info...:
...and download the chapters:
